Phase 1 — Testing in a small group (usually 20–80 people) to find a safe dose and watch for side effects.
This research trial is testing milk polar lipids (a natural component found in dairy) to see if it can help improve cholesterol levels and support a healthier gut in adults who have high cholesterol and carry extra weight around their belly. You would consume either a dairy powder enriched with milk polar lipids or a regular dairy powder every day for 8 weeks, and researchers would measure changes in your blood cholesterol, inflammation markers, and gut bacteria.
Many adults struggle with high cholesterol and abdominal obesity, which increase the risk of heart disease. Scientists want to learn whether this natural dairy component can safely help lower cholesterol and reduce inflammation without medications, while also supporting a healthier gut.
You would take home either a special dairy powder with milk polar lipids or a regular dairy powder and mix it into your daily diet for 8 weeks. You would likely visit the research clinic a few times for blood tests and other measurements to see how the powder is affecting your cholesterol, inflammation, and gut health. The study team may also collect stool samples and ask you questions about your diet and overall wellness.
