Tolerance and Appetite Reduction of a Nutritional Solution With Intragastric Gelation Properties

The physical properties of a food product, such as its gelling properties in the stomach can influence how full a person may feel after its consumption. Decreasing appetite feeling through consumption of such a product with a low energy content may contribute to weight management. The study will assess if a drink with gelation properties in the stomach can reduce appetite and therefore contribute to weight management. This is a single-center, double-blinded, 4 arm cross-over randomized controlled study looking to enroll 24 adult participants. The study will be performed at the Clinical Innovation Lab (CIL), Nestlé Research, Lausanne. Enrolled participants will have 4 visit days after the screening visit. They will consume one of the test products, or control at each visit and complete the study assessments.
