Effect of a Soluble Fibre Blend and Medium Chain Triglycerides on Body Composition and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
Phase 2
Completed
- Conditions
- People Who Are Overweight or Obesity
- Interventions
- Dietary Supplement: cellulose and soybean oilDietary Supplement: soluble fibre complex and medium chain triglycerides
- Registration Number
- NCT00644098
- Lead Sponsor
- Canadian Center for Functional Medicine
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the addition of capsules containing soluble fibre complex emulsified with medium chain triglycerides and taken before with meals will lead to a significant amount of weight loss, reduced glycemic volatility and diminished cardio metabolic risk factors in overweight and obese individuals when compared to a placebo control.
We believe that those participants taking 3-6 capsules per day of the treatment capsules over a 14 week period will loose a significant amount of weight compared to the placebo group.
