Chitosan Oligosaccharide's Impact on Post Prandial Glucose Control in Normal to Impaired Glucose Tolerance Individuals

This is a study about a substance called chitosan oligosaccharide (GO2KA1) and how it might help control blood sugar levels after eating in people with normal blood glucose, impaired fasting glucose, and impaired glucose tolerance. The study involves healthy male and female participants aged 20-75 years. It's important because it could help find new ways to manage blood sugar levels, which is a key challenge in conditions like prediabetes and diabetes. In this study, participants visit the research site twice, with a seven-day interval. On the first visit, they are given either the test product (GO2KA1) or a placebo (white egg powder), and on the second visit, they receive the other product. On both visits, a 2-hr oral sucrose tolerance test is conducted in the morning, and blood samples are collected before and after they consume the product. The main goal is to compare the differences in blood glucose levels during this test between the GO2KA1 and the placebo.
