Citrus bioflavonoids, such as eriocitrin, hesperidin and naringin, have been shown improved hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, related to the development of type 2 diabetes. The nutraceutical Eriomin, a lemon flavonoid extract composed mainly by eriocitrin (70%) and other flavonoids (30%), improved the control of moderate hyperglycemia in pre-diabetic and diabetic patients without drug therapy. However, most patients with pre-diabetes are on oral biguanide (metformin) therapy, despite its limited efficacy (30-40%) on glycemic control and its undesirable gastrointestinal effects. Therefore, in the current study, Eriomin will be administered at a dose of 250 mg/d to adults diagnosed with pre-diabetes and being treated with metformin (1,000 mg/d). This clinical trial was designed as a placebo-control, double-blind, two-arm, crossover design. Clinical characteristics, body composition, food consumption, metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers and the microbiota of all patients will be evaluated before, during and at the end of the 12-week period (arm). Biochemical and metabolic parameters associated with prediabetes are expected to improve or return to normal with Eriomin in combination with metformin. At the same time, an increase in beneficial intestinal bacteria is expected, reducing pre-diabetic dysbiosis, and perhaps a noticeable improvement in body composition.
