Brief Summary
The purpose of the current study is to examine the effects of a dietary supplement containing plant derived phenolics at two different dose levels in otherwise generally healthy adults with risk factors (high BMI at dyslipidemia and/or pre-diabetes) for body fat composition. The primary hypothesis is that supplementation with plant derived phenolics will decrease body fat composition compared to placebo.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female, ≥18 years of age at visit 1 (week -1).

- Pre-diabetes o HbA1c ≥5.7 to ≤6.4% Stable use of medications allowed, where stable use is defined as the same dose for at least 90 d prior to visit1.
- Non-user or former user (cessation ≥12 months) of tobacco or nicotine products (e.g., cigarette smoking, vaping, chewing tobacco) with no plans to begin use during the study period.
- Willing to adhere to all study procedures and signs forms providing informed consent to participate in the study and authorization to release relevant protected health information to the Clinical Investigator.

- Use of weight loss medications within 90 days of visit 1
- History of gastrointestinal surgery (e.g., bariatric surgery) or cosmetic procedures (e.g., liposuction) for weight/fat reducing purposes.
- Use of dietary supplements or related products that, in the judgment of the Investigator, are likely to markedly affect weight loss or appetite within 30 days of visit 1.
- History of extreme dietary habits (e.g., Atkins diet, etc.), as judged by the Investigator.
- History of an eating disorder (e.g., anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating) diagnosed by a health professional.

Participants with hypertension on a stable dose of medication may be allowed in the study per Investigator's discretion. Stable dose is defined as same dose for \>90 days.
