Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Metabolic Rheostat™ and Butyrate Ultra on blood glucose levels after a liquid meal challenge in patients with prediabetes. In addition, the study also aims to look at the effect of Metabolic Rheostat™ and Butyrate Ultra on weight, HgbA1c, fasting glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammation markers, and hormones.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a double blinded, pilot placebo-controlled trial of two interventions compared to placebo to determine the effects individually of Metabolic Rheostat™ and Butyrate Ultra daily consumption for 8 weeks on glucose homeostasis in subjects with prediabetes. The entire study will last 10 weeks including screen. The study will include 20 subjects with prediabetes treated with Metabolic Rheostat™; 20 subjects with prediabetes treated with Butyrate Ultra and 20 subjects with prediabetes treated with placebo. Participants will take 6 capsules daily, two capsules three times per day 30 minutes prior to each meal for 56 days.
