ABSTRACT

Gamrosu is a modified fasting therapy beverage (431 kcal/d). A retrospective observationalstudy was conducted to investigate the detoxification feasibility of Gamrosu. Three cases werereviewed which participants have finished the fasting with Garmrosu for 10 consecutive days. Detoxification profiles of Gamrosu were reviewed at pre- and post-fasting sessions. Post-Gamrosu session, −6.3% of average weight, −6.5% of average body fat mass and −6.6%of average muscle mass were reduced with the nutrition indices being improved. The inflammationindices showed the significant diminished profiles. Liver/kidney functions and the standard ofelectrolytes were maintained within normal range in stable manners, however, marginal elevationof total bilirubin and mild ketoacidosis were observed. The indices of oxidative stress decreasedand those of antioxidative activity increased. The fatigue scale scores indicated lower scoresexcept insomnia symptom. Taken together, detoxification profiles of Gamrosu were sufficientlyfeasible and the observed findings should be considered for further clinical studies.
