Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluation of the gastrointestinal tolerability of allulose in 3 different doses (0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 g/kg BW per day) in subjects over 7 days divided into 2 portions per day by mean of total score of Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) compared to Placebo.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
