Fifty-four healthy sedentary male and female participants aged 18-30 years will be recruited for this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: a control group receiving placebo MMC capsules (n = 27) or a calamansi capsule supplementation group (n = 27). All participants will undergo health screening procedures, including medical history assessment, mental health questionnaire evaluation, and measurements of vital signs, height, body weight, and body composition. Venous blood samples will subsequently be collected to determine blood glucose, insulin, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. These assessments will be performed at three time points: 1) before capsule supplementation (baseline), 2) following a single dose of capsule supplementation, and 3) after 12 weeks of supplementation.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMC powder capsule | Placebo Comparator | Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention arm. During the short-term phase, participants in the control group will receive microcrystalline cellulose (MMC) capsules and will be instructed to consume 1,500 mg/day (three capsules). During the long-term phase, participants will continue consuming MMC at a dose of 1,500 mg/day (three capsules), taken within 15-30 min after breakfast. All supplementation will be administered at the participants' residences. |
|
| Calamansi powder capsule | Experimental | Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention arm. During the short-term phase, participants in the calamansi group will receive calamansi powder capsules and will be instructed to consume 1,500 mg/day (three capsules). During the long-term phase, participants will continue consuming calamansi powder capsules at a dose of 1,500 mg/day (three capsules), taken within 15-30 min after breakfast. All supplementation will be administered at the participants' residences. |
