Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of Leanpro Peptizer nutritional supplement in powder form on the health status of people with poor nutrient absorption in Ninh Bình in 2024.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial. The subjects were individuals aged 40-60 years selected according to study criteria. The study was conducted and completed in Ninh Bình province in August 2024 (from march to august). The sample size consisted of 120 people in two groups: 60 in the intervention group (supplemented with Leanpro Peptizer powder, 47g/serving, twice daily for 2 months) and 60 in the control group with a normal diet. Data were collected at healthcare facilities, and technical standards were applied to determine health status to minimize errors and control confounding factors. Data were analyzed using SPSS20.0 and statistical tests in biomedical research.
Results: The intervention group had higher levels of total protein (TP) by 3.1g/L, albumin by 2.9g/L, and hemoglobin by 10.8g/L (p<0.05). Digestive disturbances/loose stools decreased by 16.7%; loss of appetite decreased by 38.3%; bloating and indigestion decreased by 46.6%; belching and bloating decreased by 40.0%; diarrhea decreased by 35.0%; respiratory infections decreased by 15.0%; fatigue and lethargy decreased by 46.7%; dizziness decreased by 31.7%; itching decreased by 25.0%; body weight increased by 1.4 kg; and the risk of malnutrition decreased by 40.0% (p<0.05). There was a trend toward reduced anemia by 13.4% (p>0.05). 88.3% of the subjects were very satisfied with the product.
Conclusions: Supplementing Leanpro Peptizer powder for people with poor nutrient absorption over two months in Ninh Bình increased blood protein and hemoglobin levels, improved nutritional status, digestion, and overall health, with statistically significant differences compared to the control group (p<0.05).
