The purpose of this research study is to explore the effects of fermented papaya preparation
(FPP) on whole body inflammation, physical function, fatigue, and health-related quality of
life. The investigators will conduct a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot
study on FPP in older adults. If FPP is found to have a beneficial impact on systematic
inflammation in this study population (adults aged 70-100 years old), then this supplement
may be a potential treatment option to combat aging.
