Almond Milk With Vitamin D: Impact on Vitamin D Status
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The overall goal is to enhance vitamin D status in a safe and effective manner. A 3-week randomized comparator-controlled trial among a cohort of adults with CKD (stages 3-5) (n=24) will test the main objective: Evaluate the bioefficacy of D3 in micro- and nanoparticles (4000IUs) in almond milk with the sub-objective of: Explore the effect of D3 in micro- and nanoparticles (4000IUs) in almond milk on inflammation markers CRP, TNF-α and IL-6.

Experimental: Intervention Based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and vitamin D levels, participants will be placed into the nanoparticle group. |
Dietary Supplement: NanoD4CKD
Participants will receive a 7-day supply of the 4-ounce almond milk mixed with 4000 IUs of nanoparticles of D3 and instructed to consume it in the morning with a meal.

Active Comparator: Comparator Based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and vitamin D levels, participants will be placed into the microparticle group. |
Dietary Supplement: MicroD4CKD
Participants will receive a 7-day supply of the 4-ounce almond milk mixed with 4000 IUs of microparticles of D3 and instructed to consume it in the morning with a meal.
