Effects of Sabroxy® Supplementation on Insulin Resistance and Cognitive Function in Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Insulin Resistance
This 8-week trial is testing a supplement called Sabroxy — a bark extract from the Oroxylum indicum plant — to see whether it reduces insulin resistance and improves cognitive performance in adults who already show signs of both. It is a Phase NA study, meaning it is classified as not a traditional drug phase trial, but rather a controlled supplement study. It uses a placebo comparison and is double-blinded, which means neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real supplement.
