A new study i believe
Title: The role of SlimBiome® (mixture of glucomannan, non-digestible prebiotic fibres and chromium) on glycaemic response to sugary foods
Investigators: Oana Ancu, Drs Richard Mackenzie, Steven Trangmar and Adele Costabile
Summary:
An approach that combines weight loss with additional health benefits is very desirable. SlimBiome® is a functional food ingredient that promotes the feeling of fullness, helps burn calories by promoting a healthy metabolism and maintains blood sugar levels to prevent overeating. It has been shown to reduce calorie intake by up to 20% and lower food cravings. Many diets focus on simply reducing calories in a bid to aid weight loss which is not always sustainable, and commonly leads to failure due to food cravings taking over. In a previous human intervention open-label human study performed at the University of Roehampton, utilizing a meal replacement diet plan over 4 weeks*, SlimBiome® has showed to reduce hunger and therefore takes the will power out of the equation, leading to a more successful and sustainable approach to weight management. This research aims to address that knowledge gap by investigating the effects of SlimBiome® on the glycaemic response to sugary ingredients.
The study will involve five visits to our laboratory at the University of Roehampton (Whiteland College, University of Roehampton). The first visit will last approximately 1 hour, during this time preliminary data on fasting blood glucose and body composition will be measured. The following four visits will each last 3.5 hours in which you will be asked to consume one of the following solutions per trial: 200ml of water, 200ml water/3g SlimBiome or 200 ml water/3g maltodextrin. You will then be asked to drink a glucose drink (50g dextrose in 250 ml of water), approximately 30 minutes later. Blood samples (after 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, 150 min) will be collected as standard practice in our laboratory by finger-prick. Blood glucose levels, changes in cravings and hunger, body composition changes will be monitored during each study visit.
Information for participants:
You must be male and between 18 and 65 years of age with a Body Mass Index (BMI) 18.5-24.9 kg/m2
You should have normal blood glucose (4-5.4 mM)
You must not suffer from any significant health conditions (i.e. neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, vascular diseases, strokes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease), those with anaemia, those who are pregnant, have high blood pressure >140 mmHg systolic/ >90 mmHg diastolic, current smokers, individuals requiring insulin or any other glycaemic altering medication).
