Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Study design: Randomised, cross-over, single-blinded study
Treatment: A qualified Researcher A provided bread formulated with 20% spinach extracts (as the source of polyphenols) for breakfast after the participants fasted for at least 10 hours, equivalent to 50 g carbohydrates (~110g total weight). The researcher mentioned above was blinded from the treatment type, but the participants could detect the bread's colour compared with the placebo (white bread), hence single-blinded.
Researcher B performed blinding, who was not involved in collecting blood samples from the participants for sample analysis. Treatment was provided to the participants on a covered serving tray, and participants ate in a quiet room without Researcher A present in the room. Participants are required to consume the bread within 15 minutes, the consumption is monitored with Researcher B present to collect the empty tray. An amount of 600 mL water is provided throughout the 4 hours of the study. For the cross-over trial, at least a 7-day washout period was used for each participant.
This is not an individualised intervention.

Comparator / control treatment
Control bread was white bread without the addition of spinach at an equivalent weight of 50 g carbohydrates (or ~110g total weight). This bread appears white, not blinded from the participants but blinded from Researcher A, who collects information and blood samples from the participants to be analysed later.
Researcher B performed blinding who was not involved in collecting blood samples from the participants for sample analysis. Treatment was provided to the participants on a covered serving tray, and participants ate in a quiet room without Researcher A present in the room. Participants are required to consume the bread within 15 min, the consumption is monitored with Researcher B present to collect the empty tray and water. An amount of 600 mL water is provided throughout the 4 hours of the study.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The person who determined if a subject was eligible for inclusion in the trial was unaware, when this decision was made, to which group the subject would be allocated. Allocation was concealed if it was done by the researcher who is not involved in sample or data collection, where the treatment was supplied using a sealed container. The participants were able to differentiate between treatments due to taste.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation using procedures like coin-tossing
Masking / blinding
Who is / are masked / blinded?
