Test functional foods on blood sugar and gut bacteria
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how eating specific functional foods affects blood sugar after meals and changes in gut bacteria. It may help people understand ways to support healthy blood sugar and digestion, but it’s not for people with diabetes.

This early (Phase 1) study tests how adding specific dietary supplements affects “protein glycosylation,” which means how sugar molecules attach to proteins in your blood. It’s meant to see how the supplements change these blood measurements and whether the approach is tolerable in generally healthy adults.
This study tests whether a combination of calcium and L-tryptophan (an amino acid found in food) can improve digestion and blood sugar control in healthy men. It might help if you're interested in how nutrients affect your body.
This study looks at how your gut bacteria and the foods you eat affect your blood sugar after meals. You'll wear a small sensor to track your blood sugar for 10 days and provide stool samples.
This trial tests whether a personalized nutrition plan based on your gut bacteria (microbiome) can help improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to match you with a diet tailored to your unique gut bacteria.
This trial tests whether foods with antioxidants, prebiotic fibers, and oat beta-glucans can help people who are at risk for metabolic syndrome. It looks at measures like waist size, blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol to see if these foods improve health markers.
This trial tests how a special oral nutritional supplement affects the gut microbiome (the bacteria in your digestive system) in people with type 2 diabetes. You will swallow a small capsule that collects samples as it travels through your gut, helping researchers understand the changes.
