What this trial studies
This trial develops several hemp-seed snack formulations and selects the most preferred one. It then conducts a randomized, parallel-group, triple-blind, controlled study in 70 healthy adults aged 25–45 over 8 weeks, comparing the hemp-seed snack to a matched non-hemp control snack. Participants receive guidance on a Mediterranean-style diet and are monitored every two weeks for body composition, appetite, GI symptoms, sleep, and blood tests for lipids, glycemic control, and liver markers at baseline and week 8.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the hemp-seed snack could support appetite regulation and metabolic health parameters in healthy individuals.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work on hemp seeds in nutrition shows potential benefits, but this specific snack formulation and trial design is novel.
