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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Males and females 20 - 65 years of age, inclusive

Females not of child-bearing potential, defined as those who have undergone a sterilization procedure (e.g. hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, complete endometrial ablation) or have been post-menopausal for at least 1 year prior to screening

Hormonal contraceptives including oral contraceptives, hormone birth control patch (Ortho Evra), vaginal contraceptive ring (NuvaRing), injectable contraceptives (Depo-Provera, Lunelle), or hormone implant (Norplant System)

Double-barrier method

Disqualifiers

Individuals who are pregnant, breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study

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)
