In a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition, researchers investigated whether a novel food supplement could improve metabolic health in people with impaired fasting glucose (IFG). The study comprised a single-center, six-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial wherein 62 subjects with IFG were placed on a healthy diet. Half of the included participants received a supplement containing citrus and red grape extracts, hesperidin, and chromium (250 µg chromium and 560 mg total flavonoids per day).
