NCT ID NCT07599683
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether adding a small amount of galactose (a type of sugar) to a meal can help control blood sugar spikes. Twenty-five healthy adults will drink a sugary solution with and without galactose, and researchers will track how their bodies process the sugar. The goal is to understand how galactose might slow sugar absorption or increase sugar uptake by muscles.
