Preparations that reduce absorption of calories from dietary carbohydrates could be decisively meaningful for the regulation of bodyweight or obesity. Hence, Glucosanol™ may be used as a tool for the treatment of obesity and weight management through reduced carbohydrate absorption.~The rationale for this study is to confirm that Glucosanol™ ingestion will reduce body weight. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design has been chosen to assess the efficacy and safety of Glucosanol™ in subjects who are overweight and mildly obese.~The specific hypotheses to be accepted or rejected by statistical data from the clinical investigation are beneficial effects of the device on weight loss (kg) and body fat content.
Glucosanol™, the medical device to be investigated contains a proprietary plant extract that is a natural inhibitor of alpha-amylase and can reduce starch digestion.~The rationale for this study is to confirm that Glucosanol™ ingestion will reduce body weight. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design has been chosen to assess the efficacy and safety of Glucosanol™ in subjects who are overweight and mildly obese.
