Sponsor's own description
The study aims to study the impact of frequent intake of 150-180 gram duckweed on gastrointestinal complaints and several other health related biomarkers. The study has a randomised parallel design. Two different treatments will be evaluated e.g. a 11-day intervention with duckweed based meals and a 11-day intervention with control/spinach meals. At the start and at the end of the intervention we will collect a blood sample and a urine samples. Questionnaires about gut complaints, stool consistency and frequency, wellbeing, health complaints or other adverse effects will be collected daily during intervention and up to two days after the intervention.
