Summary

This study will examine the impact of the seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) extract on blood glucose levels after a sugary drink in healthy subjects.

The aim of this study is to investigate if the seaweed extract, when consumed with the sucrose, can lower blood glucose levels, compared to the raise after sucrose only, in healthy volunteers.

The study is designed as an acute, double-blind, randomised, controlled crossover trial in 16 healthy subjects. Participants will be asked to consume sucrose solution or sucrose solution with added seaweed extract.The effects on blood glucose levels will be determined over 2 hours after the consumption.
