In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Omniplus Supreme and Placebo for Respiratory Tract Infection. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the consumption of a nutritional supplement with micronutrients and herbal extracts has an effect on the incidence of acute respiratory infections in susceptible adults.

Timeline
Interventions
Two dietitians prepared the products (one preparer per product) by dissolving two envelopes of 20 ml of the product in 240 ml of water in a disposable cup, every day from Monday to Saturday during the intervention period (90 days of actual consumption). In order to maintain blinding, these dietitians then gave the prepared cups to two different supervisors who in turn gave the product to each participant for consumption (once-daily doses). The preparation and delivery of the product was carried out during two work shifts (morning and afternoon), depending on each participants work schedule. The supervisors recorded product administration and consumption for each participant on a control form.
