Summary

"This trial aims to study how different amounts of allulose affect how our bodies burn calories, process nutrients, regulate blood sugar, and control hunger in healthy adults."

Who is the study for?
Healthy adults aged 18-45, non-smokers with a normal weight BMI (20-24.9 kg/m2), can join this trial. Those with diabetes, gastrointestinal, liver or kidney disease, on conflicting diets or medications affecting metabolism and intake regulation, pregnant or possibly pregnant women, allergic to test ingredients, unable to complete tests, having high fasting glucose levels or recent major medical events are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how different doses of allulose affect the body's heat production after eating (diet-induced thermogenesis), fat and sugar burning rates (substrate oxidation), blood sugar levels (glycemic response), and feelings of hunger in healthy individuals.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated in the provided information, potential side effects may include digestive discomfort due to allulose consumption such as bloating or gas since it is a sugar substitute that might affect gut health.
