Efficacy of STABLOR® on Visceral Fat Mass Reduction in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome (OBEMINALE2)

A 3-month Randomized Double Blind Placebo-controlled Multicenter Study to Assess the Efficacy of STABLOR® on Visceral Fat Mass Reduction in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome

The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of STABLOR® consumption on visceral fat mass compared to placebo, in persons with metabolic syndrome during 12 weeks of consumption.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Metabolic Syndrome
• Intervention / Treatment: Dietary supplement: Stablor; Dietary supplement: placebo

Detailed Description

It is expected that the food product STABLOR will reduce visceral fat mass in subjects with metabolic syndrome and therefore will improve cardiometabolic risk factors. The aim of the current study is to assess the impact of a 12-week intake of STABLOR, compared to a placebo, on visceral fat in patients with metabolic syndrome. The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of 12-week STABLOR® consumption on visceral fat mass compared to placebo, in persons with metabolic syndrome. The Secondary outcomes include Anthropometric measurements and body composition, metabolic syndrome status, STABLOR® metabolism, Cardiovascular biomarkers, Systemic inflammation, Quality of life and Behavior.
