About this trial

Randomized, controlled, triple-blind clinical trial with three parallel arms based on the product consumed (low-dose experimental product, high-dose experimental product, and placebo product) and conducted at a single center to measure the efficacy of a product (Xanthigen®) on overweight or obesity during 16 weeks of consumption.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Weight

Evaluate the effects of chronic supplementation with two doses (600 and 300mg) of Xanthigen® on weight loss. Body weight refers to the measurement of a person's total mass in kilograms. It is a basic variable that indicates the amount of mass a person has in their body. It will be assessed using the TANITA.

Time frame
It will be measured at the beginning and at least once during the 4 months of consumption.

Secondary outcomes

1

Body mass index

It is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters.

Time frame
It will be measured at the beginning and at least once during the 4 months of consumption.
2

Waist and hip circumference

Waist circumference refers to the measurement around the narrowest part of the abdominal area, and hip circumference is measured around the most prominent region of the buttocks

Time frame
It will be measured at the beginning and at least once during the 4 months of consumption.
3

Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI)

The VAI is an index that combines waist circumference, hip circumference, body mass index, and blood triglyceride levels. It provides an estimate of visceral adiposity, which is the fat stored around the internal organs in the abdominal cavity.

Time frame
From the beginning to 16 weeks
4

Fat mass

It will be measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), which provides an accurate estimate of body composition.

Time frame
It will be measured at the beginning and at least once during the 4 months of consumption.
