Evaluation of VEDAN RT-90 Resistant Cassava Starch for Glycemic Control and Prebiotic Fiber Development in a Human Trial
Sponsor: Chung Shan Medical University
Summary
This study aims to investigate the effects of RT-90 resistant cassava starch on glycemic control using a human dietary trial and to evaluate its potential as a prebiotic fiber supplement. This study will assess the efficacy of RT-90 resistant cassava starch in improving glycemic control, body composition, and gut microbiome in healthy individuals.

Interventions
RT-90 resistant tapioca starch
Within 5 minutes, consume resistant starch containing 50 g of total carbohydrates (total product weight 57 g), dissolved in 250 mL of water, and perform an oral glucose tolerance test to monitor blood sugar changes. After the test, the two groups will switch and consume resistant starch or glucose powder again after at least 1 week.
control group
The subjects were asked to take a 50 g glucose powder dissolved in 250 mL of water within 5 minutes to conduct an oral glucose tolerance test to monitor blood sugar changes. After the test, the subjects were asked to empty their stomachs at least 1 week after the test and then switch to take RT-90 resistant starch or glucose powder again.
Commercially available resistant starch
The dosage is calculated at 0.5 grams per kilogram of adult body weight (e.g., a 60-kilogram adult would need to take 30 grams). Participants should dissolve the test product in water and drink it on an empty stomach before their first meal each day, continuing for 12 weeks.
