Brief summary
This study seeks to evaluate and compare the pharmacokinetics of a micellar chrysin formulation (LipoMicel Chrysin) with that of a non-micellar chrysin formulation as well as a standard/unformulated chrysin supplement. The study also seeks to determine the short-term effects and safety of daily oral supplementation of LipoMicel Chrysin in healthy adult volunteers over a 30-day study period.
Interventions
A maximum single oral dose of 1000 mg chrysin
A maximum single oral dose of 1000 mg chrysin
A maximum single oral dose of 1000 mg chrysin

Study design
Intervention model description
Participants are randomly assigned to interventions in a crossover design to assess the pharmacokinetics over 24 hours; subsequently, the safety of LipoMicel Chrysin intervention with the higher bioavailability is evaluated in a subsequent single-arm, 30-day trial.
