Detailed description
This single-center open-label non-randomized study is planned to proof the concept on safety and efficacy of newly developed specialized food product - non-alcoholic pasteurized beverage based on kombucha, enriched with inulin and vitamins in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipations.
Interventions
kombucha-based beverage: drinking water, black tea, kombucha, inulin, vitamins (B1, B2, B6, niacin, folic acid). Nutritional value in 100 ml: carbohydrates - 2.57 g (including sucrose - 0.22 g, glucose - 1.32 g, fructose - 1.03 g), inulin - 1.15 g (46%\*), vitamin B1 - 0.4 mg (29%\*), B2 - 0.21 mg (13%\*), B6 - 0.48 mg (24%\*), niacin - 2.74 mg (15%\*), folic acid - 24.0 mcg (12%\*). Energy value/Caloric content - 54 kilojoules/13 kcal (\* - % of the recommended daily allowance, according to the Technical regulations of the Customs Union #022/2011). Flavours, identical by nutrient's content and nutrients density: black currant berries & juniper berries, or strawberries & lime leaves, or passion fruit & mango. Portion's volume - 220 ml.
