What this Trial Is About
This study investigates the differences in the kinetic parameters of fisetin in two cohorts of healthy volunteers: Cohort 1) volunteers aged 18-30 years (n = 40) Cohort 2) volunteers aged 65 years or older (n = 40) The purpose of this study is: 1. To describe the fisetin kinetics after a single dose oral administration in older age. 2. To compare the fisetin kinetics after a single dose oral administration in old and young age. FISEKIN-1 is designed as a four-arm study protocol. As well as two different age groups (18-30 years vs. 65 years and older), we want to compare fisetin kinetic parameters in fasted and fed condition: Arm 1) 500 mg fisetin (1x 5 capsule), fasted condition, cohort 1: young age Arm 2) 500 mg fisetin (1x 5 capsule), fasted condition, cohort 2: old age Arm 3) 500 mg fisetin (1x 5 capsule), fed condition, cohort 1: young age Arm 4) 500 mg fisetin (1x 5 capsule), fed condition, cohort 2: old age
