Real-world Evaluation of JBA GlucoTrojan With Reducose® on Glycemic Response

July 16, 2024 updated by: Tastermonial Inc
The project is focused on evaluating the real-world efficacy of JBA GlucoTrojan, a powdered supplement sachet containing Reducose, a natural water extract of White Mulberry Leaf, which has been scientifically proven to reduce the absorption of sugars and carbs by up to 40%. The study aims to compare the effect of consuming GlucoTrojan with a meal (Test Meal) vs. having the meal alone (control) on the blood sugar response of 50 healthy adults, pre-diabetes, or non-insulin dependent diabetes, over a period of 14 days. It is expected that GlucoTrojan will reduce the incremental area under the curve and the peak for plasma glucose concentration over 120 minutes in normoglycemic adults when compared to the response to a control meal.

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Consumer

AQP Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Company") developed a powdered supplement sachet that can be added to meals targeting consumers who follow carbohydrate-heavy Asian diets. The product is formulated with the patented ingredient, "Reducose®", a natural water extract of novel White Mulberry Leaf that has been scientifically proven to reduce the absorption of sugars and other carbs by up to 40%. The effects have been confirmed previously via Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trials.

The Company is looking to conduct a real-world study of blood glucose responses to JBA GlucoTrojan (see specifications here) with a 5% concentration of Reducose®. The study will observe the real-world efficacy of GlucoTrojan when taken with high carbohydrate meals.

Day 1: Start wearing the CGM sensor and let it self-calibrate for 24 h Day 2: Consume 1 serving of Test Meal for breakfast. Log the meal in the app. Day 3: Consume 1 serving of Test Meal with GlucoTrojan for breakfast. Log the meal in the app.

Days 4-8: Participants will be instructed to take GlucoTrojan twice per day. Once during their typical breakfast meal and once during their typical dinner meal. Each breakfast and dinner will be logged in the app.

Days 9-13: Participants will continue with their typical lives but continue to log meals - breakfast and dinner - in the app.

Day 14: end

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
iAUC Calculation
Time Frame: 2-hour period after eating
Each participant's eating period (called a "meal") is normalized and overlaid in a data frame that captures glucose values over the course of the test. Several other metrics are computed, such as maximum and minimum values, standard deviation, and others. In particular, the iAUC ("incremental area under the curve"), a measure of the total amount of postprandial blood glucose level increased over the entire 2-hour period after eating. The methodology of iAUC calculation follows the gold standard used in the measurement of the glycemic index (1, 2). The iAUC metric allows our team to easily compare and rank testing results, as well as compare against the pure sugar responses or the sugar tolerance test of an individual.
