An observational trial : patient profile of users of Secomet V®

Abstract

Subsequent to a report published by Natasha Bolognesi in Nature Medicine in 2006 on a “herbal” product called Secomet V® researchers of the University of Pretoria undertook an observational trial to document the demographics, quality of life and disease profile of patients who purchase Secomet V®, a product that contains selenium, L-glutamin and high levels of a carbohydrate derived fulvic acid (CHD-FA). No traces of any plant extracts could be found in the product.
