Conditions
Keywords
Oat FIber, supplementation, metabolic health, BPA
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to determine whether short-term use of an oat fiber supplement reduces exposure to your urine levels of dietary chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA). This study will also examine whether supplementation with NeutraOat oat fiber influences blood glucose levels using continuous glucose monitoring.
Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether short-term supplementation of oat fiber reduces exposure to plasticizers following a controlled dietary exposure and whether any resulting changes influence glycemic responses.
