The study contains two test groups (I and II) of 26 and 10 participants, respectively. Both test groups will consume the control wheat flakes, whereas test group I will consume the flakes from sprouted wheat and group II the flakes from hydrothermally processed wheat randomised over two test days. An intravenous dose of Zn will be given on day 1 of the study and the zinc isotope composition in the urine of the participants will be measured on day 1,5,6,7 and 8 of the study.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '50 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* BMI range 18.5-25.0 kg/m²\n* Regular diet with 3 meals a day (at least 5 times a week)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Intake of vitamin and/or mineral supplements during and 2 weeks before the stud\n* Intake of antibiotics 3 months prior to the study\n* Intake of medicines that have an impact on the gastrointestinal tract during and 2 weeks before the study\n* Previous or current gastrointestinal (e.g. Crohn's disease), endocrine or eating disorders or other gastrointestinal history\n* Previous or current substance/alcohol dependence or abuse (\\> 2 units per day/14 units per week)\n* Currently smoking (have smoked in the last 28 days) or willingness to smoke during the study period\n* Pregnant or lactating or wishing to become pregnant in the period of the study\n* Allergy or intolerance to wheat (coeliac disease, gluten sensitivity) or citric acid\n* Adherence to vegan or vegetarian diets or special diets (weight loss, gluten-free etc…)\n* Blood donation in the 6 months prior to the study"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06236620', 'acronym': 'Wheatflakes', 'briefTitle': 'Zinc Absorption in Flakes Derived from Sprouted or Hydrothermally Processed Wheat', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'KU Leuven'}, 'officialTitle': 'Zinc Absorption in Flakes Derived from Sprouted or Hydrothermally Processed Wheat', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'S64419'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Control wheat flakes', 'description': 'Wheat flakes made of whole derived from unprocessed wheat', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: Processing of wheat']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Flakes from sprouted wheat', 'description': 'Wheat flakes made of whole derived from sprouted wheat', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: Processing of wheat']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Flakes from hydrothermally processed wheat', 'description': 'Wheat flakes made of whole derived from hydrothermally processed wheat', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: Processing of wheat']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Processing of wheat', 'type': 'DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT', 'description': 'Investigating if the consumption of sprouted or hydrothermally processed wheat affects the iron and zinc absorption in humans', 'armGroupLabels': ['Control wheat flakes', 'Flakes from hydrothermally processed wheat', 'Flakes from sprouted wheat']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '3000', 'city': 'Leuven', 'country': 'Belgium', 'facility': 'KU Leuven/UZ Leuven', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 50.87959, 'lon': 4.70093}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Kristin Verbeke, Prof.', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'KU Leuven'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'KU Leuven', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Professor', 'investigatorFullName': 'Kristin Verbeke', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'KU Leuven'}}}}
