Summary

This study tests whether a natural bile acid called 7-Ketolithocholic Acid, taken as a supplement, can lower blood sugar levels in 100 adults with prediabetes. Participants will also follow a healthy diet and exercise plan. The goal is to see if this supplement can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: 7-Ketolithocholic Acid (a natural bile acid taken as a dietary supplement)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a new, natural supplement to help control blood sugar and potentially delay or prevent type 2 diabetes in people with prediabetes.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplement is tested alongside diet and exercise, making it hard to separate its effect from lifestyle changes.
