Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Dysglycemia is an important pre-risk condition which can potentially lead to diabetes if not adequately treated. The variation of glycemic balance can lead to cardiovascular disorders. The study will evaluate if Reglicem®, a nutraceutical containing Berberine, Curcumin, Inositol, Banaba, and Chromium Picolinate, can ameliorate glycemic status in patients with dysglycemia.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Dietary Supplement: Reglicem
  • Other: Placebo
Phase 3

Detailed Description

Dysglycemia is an important pre-risk condition which can potentially lead to diabetes if not adequately treated. The variation of glycemic balance can lead to cardiovascular disorders. The study will evaluate if Reglicem®, a nutraceutical containing Berberine, Curcumin, Inositol, Banaba, and Chromium Picolinate, can ameliorate glycemic status in patients with dysglycemia.

The investigators will enroll patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), not taking other hypoglycemic compounds. Patients will be randomized to take Reglicem® or placebo for 3 months, in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. Reglicem® and placebo will be self-administered once a day, 1 tablet during the breakfast.
