简要总结

The study under trial is to investigate the efficacy of enokitake mushroom (chitoglucan extract) in providing a solution to a problem of increasing body weight to the over-weight subjects. Chitoglucan is a plant extract of edible enokitake mushroom (Flammulina velutipes Sing) containing natural therapeutic components (vegetal chitosan, beta-glucan and fatty acid complex). Chitoglucan has an anti-obesity property that is believed to be based on two of its natural components. chitoglucan is a safe and effective means of decreasing body fat and cardiovascular disease risk factors at a much lower dosage than regular crustacean-derived chitosan. The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of chitoglucan extracted from edible enokitake mushrooms versus placebo in over-weight subjects whose BMI falls within the range of 26-32. Enrolled subjects will receive chitoglucan or a placebo as Study medication.
