Objective.
The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of Taeeumjowi-tang (TJ001) as well as to estimate obesity-related factors.
Methods.
This was a 12-week trial with 5 visits.
A total of 102 participants of both genders were randomized to either TJ001 (n=57) group or the placebo group (n=55).
Subjects were administered 7 g of either TJ001 or placebo 3 times a day.
The primary outcome was a rate of subjects who lost 5% or more of initial weight.
Secondary outcomes included anthropometric parameters, lipid profiles, and body fat composition.
Results.
The subject response rate of ≥5% weight loss compared to baseline was similar in both groups, and no statistically significant difference was observed (P=0.87).
Changes in anthropometric parameters were greater during the first 4 weeks in the treatment group (P<0.0001).
There were no significant changes in both within groups and between groups for lipid profile and body fat composition.
No adverse event was reported in either group.
Conclusion.
Although the difference between the groups regarding a rate of subjects who lost 5% or more of initial weight did not show statistical significance, TJ001 appears to be beneficial in safely controlling weight.
