Can supplements rewire your genes? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT06931977
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at whether taking a set of dietary supplements (including a nutrient drink, omega oils, probiotics, and copaiba oil) along with lifestyle changes can influence gene expression and blood markers in 97 healthy adults aged 30-55. Participants took the supplements daily for 12 weeks and provided blood, urine, and stool samples. The goal was to see changes in gene methylation, vitamin D, inflammation levels, and overall wellness measures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dietary supplement system (VMG+ nutrient complex, EO Mega+ omega complex, PB Restore probiotic, and Copaiba essential oil softgels)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could show that natural supplements and lifestyle changes can positively influence gene activity and health markers in healthy people.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial in healthy volunteers, so results may not apply to people with health conditions. The effects are likely modest and need further research to confirm.
