Benefit of IQP-VV-102 in Reducing Postprandial Glucose Level in Overweight Caucasian Subjects

Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Three-way Crossover Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Benefit of IQP-VV-102 in Reducing Postprandial Glucose Level in Overweight Caucasian Subjects

In this trial, the investigational product , the active ingredients which has been proven to reduce postprandial glucose in healthy and diabetic patients, will be tested. The primary aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the possibility of the investigational product to reduce the rise of postprandial glucose AUC level in overweight Caucasian subjects with normal to prediabetic biomarkers (IFG/HbA1C), without prompting a disproportionate rise in insulin levels.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Caucasian
• BMI between ≥ 25 and < 30 kg/m2
• Normal to prediabetic biomarkers: FBG 3.9-6.9 mmol/L / 70-125mg/dL and HbA1c 4-6.4%
• Willing to take test meal and adhere to consumptions of pre-prepared meals supplied (controlled by subject diary)
• Willing to maintain same level of physical activity during the study
• Willing to arrive at the study site with the same, non-strenuous means of transportation during the study
• Negative pregnancy testing (beta hCG) for women of childbearing potential during screening
• Women of child-bearing potential have to agree to use appropriate birth control methods during the study period
• Written informed consent of the subject to participate is a prerequisite for study participation

Exclusion Criteria:

• Known sensitivity to L-arabinose and grape marc extracts, or any sources of the active ingredients and excipients
• Use of medications or dietary supplements that may influence body weight 4 weeks, and gastrointestinal functions 2 weeks prior to enrolment and during the study

• All vegetarians and subjects with self-reported diet high in fat or protein
• Subjects are not able to communicate with local study staff
• Recent antibiotic and cortisone use up to one week and during the study
