The aim of the project OSTEOME is to design and develop a novel dietary supplement for osteoporosis, activating the intestinal microbiome. At the same time companion biomarkers will be studied related to the efficacy and tolerability of the new supplement. The selection of flavonoids will take place through in vitro and in silico studies focusing on their interaction with pathways that regulate the activity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The efficacy and tolerability of the dietary supplement will be evaluated through a randomized clinical intervention.
