NCT ID NCT07456267

First seen Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looked at whether small molecules called microRNAs from broccoli can be absorbed into the blood and affect gut bacteria in 20 healthy adults. Participants ate broccoli, and researchers measured these plant molecules in blood and stool samples. The goal was to understand a possible 'cross-kingdom' communication, not to treat any disease.
