About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a Bragg ACV supplement on postprandial glucose excursion compared to a placebo following a standardized acute carbohydrate load.
Participants will be asked to consume an apple cider vinegar supplement 10 minutes prior to a standardized meal.

Allergy, sensitivity or intolerance, preventing consumption of investigational product, placebo, or standardized meal
Poor venous access as assessed by the QI
Current use of prescribed and/or OTC medications, supplements, and/or consumption of food/drinks that may impact the glucose metabolism or efficacy of the investigational product (Sections 7.3.1 and 7.3.2)
