G3P-01 in Volunteers With Elevated Galectin-3

G3P-01 is an investigational pectin extracted, enriched and purified from commercial squash puree intended for human consumption. Pectins are an important constituent of fruits and vegetables, and health benefits are attributed to its intake. Some of the health benefits of pectins are attributed to inhibition of galectin-3. This study investigates if 30-days of G3P-01 intake in individuals with elevated galectin-3 induces biomarker changes that can be attributed to target engagement. Participants will be randomized into four groups (placebo, 100mg, 250mg and 1000mg G3P-01).
