Can a daily drink improve heart and metabolic health?
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a daily drink containing short-chain fatty acids can improve risk factors for metabolic syndrome, like belly fat, high blood sugar, or high blood pressure. It might help if you are at risk but not yet taking medications for these conditions.
