- Brief Summary
This is a randomized, double blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled single-centre trial to study the safety and efficacy 3 botanical nutraceutical formulations to be consumed twice daily for a period of 30 days in 56 pre-diabetic subjects in India.
The available literature suggests that the natural extracts from certain plants (cinnamon, fenugreek, ginger etc.) have the potential to improve the blood glucose levels, hemoglobin A1c levels, and other components of metabolic syndrome such as dyslipidemia and obesity, when combined with lifestyle measures. Currently, there is no standard-of-care for prediabetic subjects, except diet and lifestyle modifications. It is hypothesized that botanical formulations containing combinations of natural extracts from such plants i.e. drum stick, bitter melon, cinnamon, fenugreek, gurmar, ginger may benefit the glucose and lipid profile as well as body weight in prediabetics.
