Observational Metabolic Health Study

The rationale for this study is to observe the effect of a consumer-grade commercially available product called Mimio Biomimetic Cell Care on metabolic health in overweight individuals. Additionally, the study aims to observe the effects of the study product on hunger and satiety, as well as effects on cognitive function, sleep, stress, pain, mood, gastrointestinal symptoms and metabolic and inflammatory blood markers via activities that can successfully and effectively be completed in a home setting. Because this product is currently available in the OTC market across the United States, a consumer-driven, decentralized observational clinical research study is well-suited for examining the effects of this study product in this population. The study will examine outcomes in a broad age range of adults who have chosen to try this product. The study will incorporate participant reported outcome questionnaires and surveys, blood sample collection for NMR lipoprofile, oxidized LDL, hsCRP, HbA1c, Insulin and plasma glucose and a saliva sample collection for biological age test. There is no "doctor-patient" relationship as part of this research since the participant as a consumer is making the informed choice to take the product and take part in the observational process with self-reported measures, saliva sample collection and blood sample collection at their local laboratory. Findings from this study will contribute knowledge toward the design of future studies and important knowledge on metabolic health.
