Functional Bioactive Supplement Effect in Lost Weight Treatment

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Obesity and Overweight
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Control supplement
Dietary Supplement: Functional bioactive supplement
Registration Number
NCT02024425
Lead Sponsor
Instituto de Investigación Hospital Universitario La Paz
Brief Summary

The purpose this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of a functional bioactive supplement associated with a hypocaloric equilibrated diet to treat obese and overweight individuals. The functional bioactive supplement, containing antioxidant extracted from rosemary, oligosaccharides derived from lactulose and bioactive peptides, was developed to satiety control, improves of anti-inflammatory response and antioxidant defense mechanisms as well as to weight loss.

Detailed Description

A randomized, parallel, double-blind, controlled was performed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of a functional bioactive supplement associated with a hypocaloric equilibrated diet to treatment of obesity and overweight.

Women aged between 18 and 65 years with obesity and overweight diagnosis (IMC \>25\<35 kg/m2) were included in the study. The clinical trial will be performed in the Clinical Nutrition Department of La Paz University Hospital, in Madrid. All of the volunteers will receive a dietetic treatment with 1500 Kcal/day and physical activity recommendations during the study.
