January 7, 2010 updated by: Roquette Frères

The Effects of NUTRIOSE®FB Dietary Fiber Supplementation on the Satiety, Body Fat Distribution, and Metabolic Syndrome Biomarkers of Overweight Adult Chinese Men 20-35 Years of Age.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of NUTRIOSE® supplementation on body composition, satiety, and determinants of metabolic syndrome in overweight men.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Previous trials of fiber supplementation have yielded equivocal results on body composition, satiety, and determinants of metabolic syndrome. This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted to determine the effects of a proprietary soluble dextrin dietary fiber supplement (NUTRIOSE®) on these parameters in overweight males.
