Why Functional Foods May Benefit from Clinical Evidence
Functional-food clinical research should align product characterization, safety, ethics, study design, participants, endpoints, statistics, data quality, and reporting with the intended evidence and applicable regulations.
The Academy of Medical Sciences, Vietnam approaches research through scientifically justified protocols, ethics and participant protection, appropriate methods, data-quality controls, statistical analysis, and transparent reporting.
Functional-Food Research
Immune-support research should use scientifically justified endpoints appropriate to the hypothesis. Depending on the study, these may include validated clinical outcomes or selected biomarkers, while avoiding claims that a single marker proves broad 'immune enhancement.'
Functional-Food Research
Functional-food research should use a well-characterized product, scientifically justified objectives, appropriate safety information, ethics review, suitable participants and endpoints, informed consent, quality controls, statistical planning, and transparent reporting.
