Study on the Rapid Effects of a Biofield Skin Patch on Antioxidant Protection and Cellular Energy in Healthy Adults Aged 18 to 75

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the rapid effects of a non-transdermal biofield skin patch on antioxidant protection and cellular energy. This proof-of-concept clinical study uses a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized crossover design to compare an active biofield patch with a placebo patch. The study aims to measure changes in antioxidant activity, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory markers to understand the patchs impact on these biological processes. Participants will wear either the active biofield patch or a placebo patch for 12 hours during two separate clinic visits spaced at least one week apart, with a one-week washout period between visits. The order of patch use varies between two groups to ensure proper comparison. After this blinded phase, participants enter an open-label phase where they wear the active patch daily for one week before their final clinic visit. During the study, researchers will collect data on antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial volume and membrane potential in white blood cells, and serum cytokine levels at baseline, one hour, and two hours after patch application. Participants will undergo multiple blood draws, and adherence to dietary and lifestyle guidelines will be monitored. The primary outcome focuses on antioxidant protection, with secondary outcomes assessing mitochondrial function. The total participation period spans multiple visits over several weeks, including the open-label extension.
