Abstract EN

The individual ingredients in IQP-VV-102 have demonstrated promising effects in reducing sugar and starch digestion, which potentially leads to weight loss.

The trial objective was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IQP-VV-102 in reducing body weight in overweight and obese subjects.

120 overweight and obese individuals aged 18 to 60 years were randomly assigned to 2 treatment arms (IQP-VV-102 and placebo).

The trial was conducted in 2 study centres in Berlin, Germany.

The primary efficacy analysis was conducted on 117 subjects (IQP-VV-102: N=54; placebo: N=59), comparing the weight loss effect at baseline and 12 weeks after randomization.

There was a statistically significant reduction in mean body weight of 3.29 kg (SD 2.30) in the IQP-VV-102 group compared to 0.83 kg (SD 2.00) in the placebo group p<0.001.

There were no serious or product-related adverse events that were reported over the combined period of 14 weeks.

The findings suggested that IQP-VV-102 is effective and safe in body weight reduction in overweight and obese individuals in the short term.

The study is registered under clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01681069.
