Clinical Trials

Multiple clinical trials evaluate the therapeutic and nutritional potential of millet extract, focusing on clinical conditions such as human microbiome modulation, systemic inflammation, and nutritional deficiencies. With trial phases categorized as Not Applicable due to the food-based nature of the interventions, these studies encompass both recruiting and completed recruitment statuses. Supported by academic universities, research institutes, and non-profit organizations including Ghent University, HarvestPlus, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, this research quantifies physiological impacts on gut microbial diversity, inflammatory biomarkers, and micronutrient bioavailability.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Rich in polyphenols and dietary fibers, Millet Extract scavenges reactive oxygen species and suppresses pro-inflammatory signaling pathways to attenuate cellular oxidative damage. Furthermore, these bioactive constituents function as prebiotics that modulate gut microbial composition and optimize trace element absorption, directly supporting its clinical evaluation for managing inflammation, human microbiome health, and nutritional deficiencies.
