Brief summary

The effect of dose and form of rutin delivery on pancreatic function has not been previously studied. As part of National Science Challenge (NSC) - High Value Nutrition (HVN) Metabolic program, the trial will assess pharmacokinetics of 2 doses; 250 and 500 mg rutin (once a day), in 2 delivery methods; encapsulated and in a food, in a crossover study over 24 hr in 6 healthy male and female participants. They will be a randomised to receive each treatment (rutin capsule, 250 mg; rutin capsule, 500 mg; yogurt with rutin 250 mg; yogurt with rutin 500 mg) with 2 week washout between treatments. Participants can complete 2 x encapsulated rutin or 2 x enriched food rutin; or all 4 treatments.

Interventions

Pharmacokinetics (PK) Study (one off dosing, 2 weeks wash-out) Rutin (250mg) enriched yogurt Rutin (500mg) enriched yogurt Rutin (250mg) in capsule Rutin (500mg) in capsules All participants take all deliery forms of rutin. Each capsule contain 250mg rutin, 1 capsule for the 250mg and 2 capsules for the 500mg. The rutin dose administration will be taken in no particular order and is randomised.
