ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of mulberry leaf extract on blood sugar levels in healthy volunteers. Participants will be divided into four groups: one group will receive a 6 mg capsule, another a 12 mg capsule, a third an 18 mg capsule, and the last group will receive a placebo, which is a capsule that contains no active ingredients. Before taking the capsule, participants will have their blood sugar levels checked. After taking the capsule, they will drink a sugary solution, and their blood sugar will be tested again at several points over the next two hours to see how the mulberry leaf extract affects their blood sugar response.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be between 18 and 60 years old, not have diabetes, and have normal blood sugar levels below 126 mg/dL. They also need to be willing to attend the study sessions. However, people who are currently taking certain medications, have uncontrolled health issues, or have had specific surgeries will not be able to participate. This trial is currently not recruiting participants, but it aims to understand how a natural supplement like mulberry leaf extract might help with blood sugar control in healthy individuals.
