Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of BGE-102 on blood biomarkers including hsCRP, which is a lab value used to measure inflammation. BGE-102 decreases inflammation which may improve obesity and cardiovascular health. Participants will receive either BGE-102 or placebo. This study will be checking safety and tolerability of BGE-102.
