Effects of a sugar-based supplement on heart and gut health in overweight adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a sugar-based supplement (a synbiotic) to see if it improves heart and metabolic health markers as well as gut health in people who are overweight but otherwise healthy. You will take the supplement for a period of time, and your health will be monitored.

This trial tests a combination supplement (a synbiotic) to see if it can improve gut function and gut bacteria in middle-aged and older adults who are overweight and have constipation. If eligible, you take the supplement daily and report how your digestion feels.
This study tests whether taking a fiber supplement can improve gut health and blood vessel health in people with obesity. It may help you understand how your body responds to extra fiber.
This study tests whether taking a daily postbiotic gummy for 12 weeks can improve body composition and metabolic health in people with overweight or obesity. It may help if you have stable weight and no major health conditions like diabetes.
This study tests whether a daily synbiotic supplement (a mix of good bacteria and food for them) can help reduce body fat and weight in adults who are overweight or have high body fat. Participation lasts about 12 weeks and involves regular check-ins.
This study tests a specially designed food (a nutraceutical) to see if it can help improve heart health and blood sugar control in older adults. If you are 65 or older, have heart disease and mild diabetes or prediabetes, you might be able to join and potentially benefit from this simple dietary approach.
This trial tests how a high-fructose diet affects your gut bacteria and overall metabolic health. It is for people who already know they don't absorb fructose well (fructose malabsorbers) and want to understand how this sugar impacts their body.
