Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Urolithins kinetics after intake of a single dose of Robuvit® and under steady-state conditions analysed with a liquid chromatography system with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer detector (LC-MS). The times of serum and saliva sampling in phase 2 will be at t = 0, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 30, 48, 54, 72 and 78 hours. If the blue gut transit time indicator is not detected in stool after 4 days, the measurement period may be extended by one day (to 96 or 102 hours). In phase 3, saliva sampling will be conducted as in phase 2, while serum sampling will be limited to time points t = 0, 6, 10, 24, 30, 48, 54, 72, and 78 hours.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Correlation analysis: The kinetic profiles of urolithins in serum and saliva measured using LC-MS at different timepoints (t = 0, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 30, 48, 54, 72 and 78 hours), and gut transit time assessed by monitoring the presence of blue color in stool after ingesting a blue food dye as a visual marker 1 hour after consuming Robuvit® (individually from hours to days) 2. The levels of urolithins in saliva and blood serum compartments measured by LC-MS at 24 hours after a single dose of Robuvit® to assess the suitability of using saliva for metabotype screening
