Can a simple amino acid powder tame Obesity's twin troubles?

NCT ID NCT04883515

Summary

This study is testing whether taking glutamine, a common amino acid, as a powder for 8 weeks can help improve blood sugar control and ease irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms in people with obesity. It will involve 110 participants who will be randomly assigned to receive either glutamine or a placebo protein powder. Researchers will measure changes in insulin resistance and gut symptoms to see if glutamine helps by potentially healing the gut lining.
