Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

Primary objective of this trial was to find out efficacy of Vestige Spirulina Capsule by evaluating Mean change in ISQ (Immune Status Questionnaire) Score from Baseline to Week 8. The ISQ questionnaire consists of 7 questions, which are used to evaluate frequency of different usual symptoms experienced by the subject due to low immunity, which is representation of overall Immunity. Mean value of Raw score of ISQ questionnaire at baseline(V1) was 1.35 which decreased to 0.54 at visit 2 (Week 4) with mean percentage change recorded as 45.71% with a statistically significant p Value(P<.0001).

 

Mean of Final score reported as 4.4 at baseline which increased to 8.74 at Week 8. Mean percentage of Final score is recorded as -91.26% which represents significant improvement in overall immunity of the subjects.

 

There are 48 subjects who reported Final score as 8 and above at Week 8 from a total of 0 subjects within this range at Baseline. A final score of 8 and above represents enhanced Immune status. A total of 11 subjects reported Final score as 10 at week 8 from 0 subjects at baseline, final score of 10 represents excellent perceived immune status.

 

Secondary objective of this trial was to find out safety & tolerability of Vestige Spirulina Capsule by evaluating following parameters:

• Clinical Adverse events occurring during entire duration of study

There were no AEs reported by the enrolled subjects during the study, which represents that Vestige Spirulina capsules are safe and tolerable for extended duration of consumption by the general population.

 

Conclusion:

From current data set analysis of this proof-of-concept study it can be concluded that Vestige Spirulina Capsule has shown promising results in improving overall immunity. Study met its primary and secondary endpoints with significant results. Vestige Spirulina Capsule are also safe to be used as the study documented no adverse events. However, double blind, placebo-controlled studies with larger sample size and increased duration of consumption can be conducted to reproduce results like current study in consideration. Its impact on various haematological parameters can also be evaluated in future studies.
