About this study

The test product has previously been suggested to elicit beneficial effects on glucose metabolism and cognitive performance. The purpose with this study is to evaluate metabolic effects and effects on mood variables of the test product provided at breakfast. Test variables are determined at fating and postprandial a standardised breakfast. The results are compared with effects after a placebo product.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • age between 40-60 years, normal BMI, healthy, non-smokers

Placebo

Dietary Supplement

Primary outcomes

  1. blood glucose

    Time frame: 4 hours

    capillary blood glucose concentrations are determined at fasting and then repeatedly after a standardised breakfast

Secondary outcomes

  1. serum insulin

    Time frame: 4 hours

    capillary serum insulin concentrations are determined at fasting and then repeatedly after a standardised breakfast

  2. Mood as measured by ratings on 100 mm visual analog scales( VAS rating scales)

    Time frame: 4 hours

    measures of 6 mood variables (sad-glad, depressed-happy, displeased-pleased, dull-peppy, passive-Active, sleepy-awake) repeatedly in the postprandial period after breakfast
