5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of daily supplementation of fermented red ginseng (FRG) on glycemic status in subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or type 2 diabetes.
Detailed Description
This study was a 4 weeks, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Forty-two subjects with IFG or type 2 diabetes were randomly allocated to 2 groups to consume placebo or FRG three times per day for 4 weeks. Fasting and postprandial glucose profiles during meal tolerance test were assessed before and after the intervention.
