Hunger relief during colonoscopy prep? study tests nutritional supplement
NCT ID NCT05088408
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether taking two bottles of a high-energy nutritional supplement (Resource® Energy Apricot) during colonoscopy bowel preparation could reduce hunger without harming the quality of the colon lining view. 299 adults scheduled for a colonoscopy took the supplement along with their usual clear-liquid prep. Researchers measured how well the colon could be seen and how hungry participants felt.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could make colonoscopy preparation more comfortable by reducing hunger, without compromising the doctor's ability to see the colon clearly.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with no phase designation, so results are preliminary. The supplement is not transparent, so it might still affect visualization quality.
