Dihydroberberine Effects on Body Composition and Metabolic Health in Healthy Adults (DHB)

December 29, 2025 updated by: Nanjing Nutrabuilding Bio-tech Co., Ltd.

Effects of Dihydroberberine Supplementation on Body Composition, Glycemic Control, Energy Levels, Appetite, and Mood in Healthy Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether dihydroberberine (DHB) supplementation can improve body composition, blood sugar control, energy levels, appetite, and mood in healthy adults with overweight or mild obesity. The study focuses on men and women aged 35-55 years with a BMI between 27.0 and 33.0 kg/m².

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does daily DHB supplementation lead to greater reductions in body weight over 12 weeks compared to placebo? Does DHB improve glycemic responses, appetite regulation, energy levels, and mood, both acutely (short-term) and chronically (over 12 weeks)?

Researchers will compare two groups-one receiving DHB (400 mg/day) and the other receiving a placebo-administered as two capsules twice daily for 12 weeks. Participants will:

Attend three in-clinic visits over approximately 14 weeks (including screening, baseline, and week 12 visits) Undergo mixed-meal tolerance tests (MTTs) to assess glucose metabolism, appetite, and energy levels Complete body composition assessments (including DXA scans), blood tests (e.g., glucose, insulin, HbA1c), and mood questionnaires (POMS-2) Be monitored for safety throughout the study

Net incremental area under the curve (niAUC) from 0 to 120 minutes for individual appetite-related sensations measured using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS), including Hunger, Desire to Eat, Fullness, and Prospective Food Consumption. The VAS ranges from 0 mm ("not at all") to 100 mm ("extremely"). Higher scores on Hunger, Desire to Eat, and Prospective Food Consumption indicate greater appetite drive and poorer satiety; higher scores on Fullness indicate greater satiety (better outcome).

Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 2, Day 1): t=0 to t=120 minutes
Maximum positive change from fasting baseline in the Composite Appetite Score, calculated as the average of standardized 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ratings for Hunger, Desire to Eat, Fullness, and Prospective Food Consumption. The VAS ranges from 0 mm ("not at all") to 100 mm ("extremely"). Higher values for Hunger, Desire to Eat, and Prospective Food Consumption reflect increased appetite, while higher values for Fullness reflect enhanced satiety; the composite score is interpreted based on the net direction of these opposing components (better outcome).
