We're studying a plant-based apple extract to learn how it may affect markers of inflammation and overall wellness in adults ages 45 to 70. This is a 24-week study you can do entirely from home. If you join, you'll take one capsule a day and share how you're feeling along the way.
You'll take one capsule each morning with food for 24 weeks. You'll complete short online questionnaires about your energy, comfort, sleep, and mood, and collect small home blood spot samples at the start, Week 12, and Week 24. There are no clinic visits and no wearables to wear.
Answer a few quick questions online to see if you may be a good fit. If eligible, you'll review and sign the consent form on our secure online platform.
You'll receive your capsules and an at-home blood spot kit. You'll complete your TruAge blood collection test and baseline questionnaires.
Take one capsule each morning with food. At Week 12, you'll do another home blood collection and complete short surveys about how you feel.
You'll complete your last home blood collection and final questionnaires to wrap up the study. Adherent participants will receive their final milestone gift card (totaling $60) + their TruAge test results on conclusion of the study.
This study measures a blood marker of inflammation called hsCRP, along with how participants report their fatigue, joint comfort, sleep, and daily function over time. Researchers want to understand whether an apple extract may support these areas as people age. Half of participants take the extract and half take an inactive capsule, and neither participants nor researchers know which is which during the study.
