NCT ID NCT06430138
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates how polyphenols from oranges are absorbed and used by the body, especially in the gut. Researchers will compare healthy adults with a colon to those without a colon (ileostomates) after drinking orange juice. The goal is to understand how these compounds affect gut health and could lead to new food products.
