Chitin-glucan supplementation improved postprandial metabolism and altered gut microbiota in subjects at cardiometabolic risk in a randomized trial. Sci Rep. 2022;12:8830. doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-12920-z.
In this randomized trial, participants at cardiometabolic risk received chitin-glucan supplementation, leading to improved postprandial metabolic responses and significant alterations in gut microbiota composition. The study highlights chitin-glucan’s potential in modulating metabolic health and gut microbiome profiles, suggesting its role as a beneficial dietary intervention for individuals with increased cardiometabolic risk.
