Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single dose, cross-over efficacy study. Adult healthy subjects meeting all inclusion and no exclusion criteria, after signing a written informed consent will be enrolled in the study. During the screening visit,blood samples will be collected for the laboratory assessments. Vital signs, height, weight and BMI will be measured.If the subject is eligible, they will be familiarized with the treadmill and measurements. Subjects will be instructed to refrain from strenuous physical activity for at least 24 hours prior to their next two visits and to eat a normal diet for the two days prior to the visit.All subjects who meet the study entrance criteria will return to the study site for Experimental Visit 2 in a 12-hr fasting state,all safety and efficacy assessments will be performed as per the protocol.Subjects will return to the study site one week following visit 2 in a fasting state for visit 3. All safety and efficacy assessments will be repeated, but each subject will receive the opposite IP consumed at visit 2 (cross-over). During this visit, blood samples will be collected for laboratory analyses
