Can a tonic drink tame blood sugar spikes? small study investigates
NCT ID NCT07030010
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested whether a commercially available tonic drink could lower blood sugar spikes after a high-carb breakfast in 20 overweight or obese adults aged 30-64. Participants ate the same meal with either the tonic or a placebo drink on different days, and researchers measured blood sugar and insulin levels for three hours. The goal was to see if the tonic could help manage post-meal glucose responses.
