The Effects of Fermented Brown Seaweed Intake on Glucose Metabolism and Gut Health

Sponsor: Aventure AB

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The aim of this randomised, controlled, cross-over study is to investigate whether the intake of fermented brown seaweed can lower postprandial blood glucose levels and influence the composition of the gut microbiota in 25 healthy volunteers. Well-being and gastrointestinal symptoms as well as sensory properties of the products will also be evaluated using questionnaires. At the screening visit, the subjects will be informed about the study procedures and inclusion/exclusion criteria will be checked. Informed consent will be signed by each subject before participating in the study. The participants will consume the active and control product, respectively, for 5 days with a 14-day wash-out period in between. Capillary blood samples will be drawn for glucose measurement at the first day of each 5-day intervention period. Faecal samples will be collected before and after each 5-day intervention period to analyse changes in gut microbial composition.
