This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether inulin, a type of fiber supplement made from chicory root, can help improve heart and gut health in adults living with obesity. Some people with obesity have metabolic problems (like high blood pressure or blood sugar issues), while others do not — and researchers want to see if inulin affects both groups differently. You would take the supplement mixed into a drink every day for 9 weeks.
People with obesity often face heart and digestive health challenges, but doctors don't fully understand how fiber supplements might help — or whether they work differently depending on someone's other health risk factors. This study will help answer those questions.

You would visit the lab three times over 9 weeks — at the start, halfway through, and at the end. At each visit, you'll arrive after fasting overnight, have blood drawn, and undergo several heart and blood vessel tests. You'll also wear a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours after each visit and keep a food diary for 3 days. Throughout the study, you'll mix a powder (starting at 6 grams daily for one week, then 12 grams daily for the remaining 8 weeks) into a cool or room-temperature drink each day, and your body composition will be measured at each visit.
