A Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effects of a Dietary Supplement on Digestive Health, Energy, and Skin Health

This study evaluates the effects of the Clean Nutra dietary supplement MultiMineral 102 Gummies on digestive health, energy, and skin health over an 8-week period. The trial is conducted as a single-arm, unblinded, virtual study in which all 35 enrolled participants take the test product daily. Participants will complete self-reported questionnaires at Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, and Week 8 to assess changes in digestive health, energy levels, skin health, and overall vitality. All participants reside in the United States and will follow instructions provided by the research team throughout the study duration.

Evaluation of AppleX™ Apple Extract on Anti-Inflammatory and Healthy Aging Effects

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if AppleX™ Apple Extract can help lower systemic inflammation in adults aged 45-70 with signs of low-grade inflammation. It will also look at the extract's effects on fatigue, joint comfort, and biological aging metrics. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does taking AppleX™ Apple Extract daily lower high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels, a key marker of inflammation in the blood? * Does AppleX™ Apple Extract improve participant-reported fatigue and joint comfort? * Does the extract slow down biological or epigenetic aging metrics compared to a placebo? Researchers will compare AppleX™ Apple Extract to a placebo (a look-alike capsule that contains no active ingredients) to see if the apple extract has a measurable anti-inflammatory and healthy aging effect.

Project ICOPE Brazil: Assessment of Intrinsic Capacity in Brazilian Older Adults

The ICOPE Brazil study aims to understand aging trajectories in Brazil, especially healthy aging trends based on intrinsic capacity, a collective of mental and physical capacities one may have to maintain their functional ability to execute daily life activities. Tests and questionnaires will be applied to collect data on mobility capacity, cognitive capacity, nutritional status, vision, and hearing (sensorial) capacities, and mental health. These assessments are in consonance with what the World Health Organization proposed in the Integrated Care for Older People Program (ICOPE). Participants will be followed up for three years, and the primary outcomes of interest are loss of intrinsic capacity, mobility impairment, cognitive impairment, incident depressive symptoms, loss of functional ability, incident frailty, incident sarcopenia, incident falls, hospitalization, multimorbidity, and mortality.
