Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the freshwater clam extract and its combination is effective on the improvement of glucose and lipid metabolism, also evaluate its ability to postpone prediabetes patients to become diabetes.

Detailed Description

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

This study aims to evaluate the effect of freshwater clam extract and its combination is effective on the improvement of glucose and lipid metabolism, as well as evaluate its ability to postpone prediabetes patients to become diabetes., 3 month and 6 month data will be collected and put into analysis to provide some suggestions on the Clam protein capsules and Clam peptide plus Chlorella capsules use in the clinical practice for prediabetes patients.
