About this trial
The purpose of this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial is to. evaluate daily Reducose® (mulberry leaf extract) supplementation taken with the two largest meals for 12 weeks on improving glycemic response and perimenopausal symptoms in women aged 40-60 years. Glycemic response is measured using Dexcom Stelo continuous glucose monitors during standardized test meals, and menopausal symptoms and sleep/quality-of-life outcomes are assessed using validated surveys administered through the Chloe app in a decentralized U.S. study.
