Background:
Previous studies have shown that Litramine was effective in weight loss for overweight and obese subjects.
Objective:
To further validate the weight loss effect of Litramine compared to placebo in US population.
Methods:
Double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study conducted over 14 weeks including 2 weeks run-in. Overweight and obese subjects were randomly
allocated to either Litramine™ or the placebo group. Primary endpoint was the comparison of the difference in body weight (lbs) at baseline and after 12
weeks of treatment with Litramine™ versus placebo.
Results:
The Litramine group lost significantly more weight in comparison to the placebo group who gained weight instead (-2.53 lbs vs 2.56 lbs, p<0.001).
Conclusion:
Litramine is safe and efficacious for body weight loss.
