Food and Supplement Clinical Trial Services

Clinical trials can be an essential component for substantiating health claims for foods and food constituents and supplements. When properly conducted, they provide the highest level of scientific evidence into a cause-and-effect relationship.

Many critical factors must be considered in the design of a clinical study to ensure that the objectives of the study will be met and to ensure that the results collected will be relevant to the proposed health claim. Also, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines should be followed to ensure the credibility of clinical study data and the protection of study subjects. Intertek’s experts combine their understanding of the regulatory requirements for conducting safe and ethical clinical trials with the expertise in substantiating health claims to provide effective food clinical trial support for your needs.
