| Popis: | Efficacy and safety of a weight-‐loss formula (LeanSpa, Orange, CT) designed to increase metabolism, improve appetite, and influence hormonal balance positively in order to deplete excess body fat while preserving fat-‐free mass (FFM) and bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed in an open-‐label, single-‐group study. This was performed using conditions that closely resembled those under which consumers would most likely use the formula. The formula consisted of chromium, 5-‐hydroxytryptophan, iodine, natural caffeine, octopamine HCL and extracts of Garcinia cambogia, green tea, and acai berry. Efficacy, assessed in 20 over-‐weight adults enrolled in a 60-‐day regimen, focused on changes in dual energy x-‐ ray absorptiometry-‐-‐derived body composition and resting metabolic rates (RMR). Safety was assessed by analyses of a 40-‐item clinical chemistry panel, vital signs, and daily tracking reports of appetite control, adverse events, and self-‐reported quality of life. Over two-‐months, subjects lost an average of 3.8 lbs of body fat (P |
