Detailed description
A sample of 100 people will be supplemented, with 50 participants consuming the nutraceutical gel and the remaining 50 receiving a placebo supplement. The supplementation period lasts 14 days, during which severity questionnaires and the Bristol Stool Scale will be administered on Day 0, Day 7, and Day 14. Additionally, to assess biomarkers, biochemical tests for PCR, calprotectin, and fecal lactoferrin will be conducted.
Interventions
The supplement consists of a box containing 14 sachets of the product for 14 days of treatment. Patients should preferably consume the supplement in the morning.

Masking description
For the purposes of the study, it was decided to use a double-blind method, where neither the investigator nor the patient knows which treatment is the nutraceutical and which is the placebo. To achieve this, the team was responsible for mixing the treatment packages to allow for proper distribution.
Intervention model description
Comparison between two groups: nutraceutical and placebo treatment.
