NCT ID NCT07553936
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how eating foods made with alternative proteins—like insects, microalgae, hemp, and legumes—affects hunger, fullness, and health. About 40 adults, some with overweight, will try these foods in a controlled setting. Researchers will measure appetite, blood sugar, and digestion to see if these proteins could be a healthy and sustainable choice.
