Paradis ME, Couture P, Lamarche B
Published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism
Methodology
Randomised double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial of a brown seaweed polyphenol extract before a carbohydrate load in healthy adults
Key Findings
The seaweed extract significantly reduced postprandial insulin response and improved insulin sensitivity index, without changing postprandial glucose significantly.
Conclusions
Brown seaweed extract modestly blunts insulin response to a carbohydrate load.
Limitations
Acute single-meal design; healthy participants; surrogate endpoints.
Supplements Studied
The seaweed extract significantly reduced postprandial insulin response and improved insulin sensitivity index, without changing postprandial glucose significantly.
Outcomes Measured
The seaweed extract significantly reduced postprandial insulin response and improved insulin sensitivity index, without changing postprandial glucose significantly.
