Trimethylamine N-oxide Effects of a Pomegranate Supplement Simultaneously With Carnitine (TESSA)

Sponsor: Quadram Institute Bioscience

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is produced in some individuals whose diets include meat, fish, and dairy.These foods are rich in L-carnitine. L-carnitine is metabolised by the liver and gut microorganisms (bacteria) into TMAO. In the TESSA study, investigators will explore whether pomegranate extract can lower the production of TMAO in healthy men and women. This reduction in TMAO production has been associated with decreasing a person's risk of heart disease.
