Brief Summary

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

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm study of 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) was conducted in healthy males and females between the ages of 18 and 65 at the time of consent. 2'-FL is one of the most prominent HMOs in human milk. Preclinical studies indicate that 2'-FL feeding is prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic, and may reduce skeletal muscle atrophy during energy restriction. The investigators hypothesize that supplementation of 2'-FL affects the preservation of muscle mass, strength, and markers of health during exercise and a hypo-energetic weight loss program. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will compare 3 g/day of 2'-FL with 3 g/day of maltodextrin placebo as a daily supplement.

Detailed Description

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

Objective: To investigate the effects of daily supplementation with 3 g/day of 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) compared to 3 g/day of maltodextrin placebo on muscle mass preservation, strength, and health markers during exercise and a hypo-energetic weight loss program in healthy adults.

Study Design: This study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm trial.

Participants: Participants will include healthy males and females aged 18 to 65 years at the time of consent, with a BMI between 25 to 40 kg/m² and/or body fat greater than 30%. Preference will be given to individuals with a BMI between 25 to 32 kg/m² who express a desire to lose weight and participate in a fitness exercise program.

Intervention: Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 3 g/day of 2'-FL or 3 g/day of maltodextrin placebo, administered daily for the duration of the study.

Ethical Considerations: This study will adhere to ethical guidelines for human research, ensuring participant confidentiality, informed consent, and data protection.

Timeline: The study will commence upon institutional approval and is expected to be completed within 12 weeks.

This study aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of 2'-FL supplementation on muscle preservation, strength, and overall health during exercise and weight loss efforts, contributing to the understanding of its role as a dietary supplement.
