Study summary

This clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy of Metabolic Master Pack over a 90-day intervention period. Sixty adults will be randomized to receive either Metabolic Master Pack or placebo. Participants will wear continuous glucose monitors throughout the study, complete repeated blood collections, undergo DEXA body composition assessments, and complete dietary records. Results will provide high-quality evidence regarding the product's effects on glucose regulation and metabolic health.

Read the detailed description

Participants will enroll in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial in which they will consume the assigned intervention daily, 15 minutes before their largest meal. Continuous glucose monitoring will be used to characterize glucose responses under real-world conditions. Repeated blood draws will quantify changes in metabolic hormones and inflammatory biomarkers during three distinct standardized meal tests. These tests will take place at baseline, 45 days, and 90 days of supplementation. DEXA scans and anthropometric measurements, such as waist circumfrance, will assess body composition changes. Dietary recalls will be collected to evaluate behavioral changes and dietary adherence. Activity monitors will be used to assess physical activity and sleep patterns.

Assessments:

Visit 1 (Baseline) - morning visit

  • Informed consent
  • DEXA scan (fasted)
  • Waist and hip circumference
  • Placement of CGM #1

Visit 2 (Day 2) - morning visit

  • Fasted Standardized meal test
  • Pre-test blood draw, 30 minutes post blood draw, 1 hour post blood draw
  • During the resting/waiting period:
  • Give activity tracker and orient to dietary tracking. Ensure CGM functionality.

Visit 3 (Day 15)

  • Check symptoms and adverse events
  • Replace glucose monitor
  • Dietary tracking and physical activity education

Visit 4 (Day 30)

  • Check symptoms and adverse events
  • Replace glucose monitor
  • Dietary tracking and physical activity education

Visit 5 (Day 45- halfway point)

  • Fasted standardized meal and blood draws
  • Check symptoms and adverse events
  • Replace glucose monitor
  • Dietary tracking and physical activity education

Visit 6 (Day 60)

  • Check symptoms and adverse events
  • Replace glucose monitor
  • Dietary tracking and physical activity education

Visit 7 (Day 75)

  • Check symptoms and adverse events
  • Replace glucose monitor
  • Dietary tracking and physical activity education

Visit 8 (Day 90)

  • Fasted standardized meal and blood draws
  • Waist and hip circumference measurements
  • DEXA scan
  • Collect equipment and supplies back from participant

Visit 9 (Day 91)

  • CGM removal (Full 24 hr after intervention)

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS PLAN

Primary Outcome:

Change in acute fasted glucose AUC at baseline, Day 45 and Day 90.

Primary Analysis:

Mixed-effects linear model with:

  • Fixed effects: group, time, group × time
  • Random effect: participant

Secondary Analyses:

  • Repeated-measures mixed models for hormones
  • Repeated-measures mixed models for body composition
  • ANCOVA models controlling for baseline values
  • Sensitivity analyses for dietary intake and adherence
  • Physical Activity data as a covariate with glucose data

Power Analysis:

Assuming an effect size of d=0.60, alpha=0.05, and 80% power, 52 participants are required. Enrollment of 60 participants allows for approximately 15% attrition.

Inclusion criteria

  • 25-40 kg/m²
  • Ability to provide

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Taking medications that impact metabolism
  • Report sustained weight loss of >3% in the past 3 months.
  • History of metabolic/bariatric surgery.
  • Females who are pregnant, have been pregnant within the past 6 months, or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
  • Report a current medical condition or treatment for a medical condition that could affect body weight or contradict engagement in any aspect of the outcome measures or interventions.
  • Current congestive heart failure, angina, uncontrolled arrhythmia, symptoms indicative of an increased acute risk for a cardiovascular event, prior myocardial infarction or history of cardiomyopathy, coronary artery bypass grafting or angioplasty, conditions requiring chronic anticoagulation (i.e., recent or recurrent DVT).
  • Resting systolic blood pressure of >160 mmHg or resting diastolic blood pressure of >100 mmHg. If medicated for blood pressure control, the medication dose needs to be stable for >6 months.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

    Time frame: Baseline and at the end of the intervention

  2. Dietary Patterns

    Random 24-hour dietary recall to assess changes in dietary patterns over the 90-day intervention.

    Time frame: 5 dietary recalls over the 90 day intervention.

  3. Participant Height

    Height to the nearest tenth of a centimeter will be recorded using a standard wall-mounted sadometer

    Time frame: At the baseline visit

  4. Participant mass

    Participant mass will be measured using a standard scientific weight scale and recorded to the nearest tenth of a kilogram.

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 45 of intervention and day 90 of intervention

  5. Waist circumfrence

    Participants' waist circumferences will be measured using a standard flexible PVC measuring tape around the umbilicus and at the level of the iliac crest.
