Colonic Delivery of DIM and Perilla Oil on Gut Hormones and Food Intake in Obesity

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether targeted food supplement capsules that release nutrients in the lower gut can increase appetite-regulating gut hormones and reduce food intake in adults with obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the targeted supplement increase blood levels of appetite-related gut hormones such as PYY and GLP-1? * Does the supplement reduce calorie intake at a standardised test meal compared with placebo? Researchers will compare active supplement capsules with placebo capsules (inactive look-alike capsules) to see whether the supplement changes hormone levels and food intake. Participants will: * Attend two study visits after an overnight fast * Take supplement capsules or placebo capsules in random order * Provide repeated blood samples during each study visit * Complete hunger and appetite rating questionnaires * Eat standardised breakfast and lunch meals so that calorie intake can be measured
