Clinical evidence on multi-micronutrient dosing in health outcomes

Research partnership opportunity to generate and analyze human clinical evidence on multi-micronutrient combinations at above-RDA intake levels, targeting specific health outcomes including cognitive health, immunity, mobility, gut health, healthy aging, and weight management.

Priority Areas

• Systematic reviews/meta-analyses on >RDA multi-micronutrient effects
• Studies evaluating synergistic effects of multi-nutrient combinations
• Re-analysis of existing RCTs/cohorts for >RDA multi-nutrient outcomes
• Access to or re-analysis of individual participant data (IPD)
• Longitudinal cohorts linking intake/status with weight/metabolic endpoints
• RCTs on >RDA multi-nutrient dosing for weight/metabolic outcomes
• Network meta-analyses of nutrient interaction patterns

Eligibility & Requirements

Must Have:

• Clear link to specified health outcomes (cognitive health, immunity, mobility, gut health, healthy aging, or weight management)
• Evaluates intakes above current RDAs, not deficiency-prevention levels
• Focuses specifically on multi-micronutrient and/or multivitamin results
• Demonstrates potential to generate credible human evidence on above-RDA micronutrient dosing

Nice to Have:

• Access to individual participant data (IPD) from prior trials
• Studies that help define biomarker cut-points linking intake, nutrient status, and health outcomes
