A Victoria University researcher is seeking women between the ages of 40 to 55 to participate in a study looking at the benefits of kiwi fruit seaweed extract to prevent the incidence of breast cancer and regulate reproductive hormones.
The extract is a commonly used food therapy in Chinese medicine.
Participants will be required to consume the extract as a powder twice a day for a two-month period. They will also need to attend a clinic on Milleara Rd in East Keilor every fortnight to provide urine samples.
During the trial, participants will be given a breast thermography test - an advanced diagnostic tool that can detect cellular changes in breasts years ahead of any other screening method - as well as general health assessments.
If you are interested in participating contact:
