Effects of Kimchi Supplementation on Gut Microbiota, DNA Methylation and Serum Proteomes

Participants will ask to answer questionnaire related to general characteristic, lifestyle, dietary pattern and undergo physical examination and measurement of body composition. The subjects will be divided into 2 groups: healthy control and intervention. The intervention group was divided into 3 subgroups: the fermented vegetable (kimchi) group, the kimchi supplemented with polyphenol (Vitexin) group, or the kimchi supplemented with probiotic (Lactobacillus rhamnosus) group. The intervention group will be instructed to consume 1 pack of kimchi per day (50 g/pack) with lunch for 2 months.
