SugarLock peanut skin extract before meals to see if it helps post-meal blood sugar in healthy adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center, randomized crossover study in healthy adults aged 18 and older with normal fasting glucose. Participants receive three pre-meal interventions (SugarLock peanut skin extract, white kidney bean extract, or water) before a 50 g carbohydrate rice meal, each on separate test days with at least 48 hours between visits and CGM monitoring for 3 hours. The trial aims to see if pre-meal supplements can reduce postprandial glucose elevations and fluctuations. A washout period and controlled meal conditions help isolate the effects of the extracts on glycemic responses.
