Summary

This small, early-stage study is exploring whether attapulgite, a type of clay, is safe and can help people with obesity manage their weight. It will enroll 40 adults with obesity, some of whom also have type 2 diabetes, to see if the treatment affects body measurements, blood sugar, and gut health. The main goal is to gather initial data on whether this approach shows promise for controlling weight and related metabolic factors.
