  Postprandial glucose fluctuation contributes to oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. Natural plant-derived ingredients that modulate carbohydrate digestion offer a safe nutritional strategy for glycemic control. SugarLock® peanut skin extract, rich in polyphenols and proanthocyanidins, may inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities and reduce glucose absorption. This pilot human test evaluated the efficacy of peanut skin extract in stabilizing postprandial blood glucose in healthy adults. A self-controlled crossover study was conducted in nine healthy subjects (aged ≥18 years).
