Impact of Oral Dyglomera™ on Body Fat and Blood Lipids of Overweight and Obese Adults (Dyglomera)

Evaluation the Impact of Oral Dichrostachys Glomerata Extract (Dyglomera™) in Overweight and Obese Adults for Reducing Body Fat and Modulating Blood Parameters a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study

The extract of Dichrostachys glomerata (DyglomeraTM), has been reported to be effective in weight reduction in obese patients with metabolic syndrome. This plant has been shown to have many biological properties and has been reported to have no toxic or adverse side effects in animals. The purpose of this human study was to prove that the effect of reducing body fat percentage (%) after 12 weeks of intake was superior to that of the control group.

This is a 12-weeks randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial. 120 number of subjects are planned. Each subject will be administered a single dose of the investigational product once daily, before lunch or dinner, consisting each time of 400 mg of the test product or placebo. Subjects will be assigned to the test group or placebo group in random order. Evaluations will be taken at baseline and at the beginning of each of the 5 study visits. Screening data will be reviewed to determine subject eligibility. Subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be entered into the study. The following investigational products will be used: Test product: Dichrostachys glomerata extract (Dyglomera™) at a dose of 400 mg Control product: Placebo at a dose of 400 mg In this human study, starting with Visit 2, the duration of participation in the human study will be 12 weeks (84 days) in total. The study period will be planned to be 8 months from the date of approval of the human study. The screening visit of the first subject will be conducted at the MAX SPECIALTY HOSPITAL, and the first subject will be enrolled thereafter. The last subject will complete the study within about 5 months.

12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with subjects administered 400 mg per day of Dyglomera

To maintain double-blinding, in addition to the contents mentioned in the production/packaging and labeling of the products used in the human study, the allocation details of unique codes (information on blinding) for each group will be managed in a sealed state by the principal investigator. Except in cases where it is unavoidably necessary to read the code due to the occurrence of a serious adverse drug reaction*, it will not be disclosed until the end of the human study. In this human study, no unblinding will occur during the study. The investigator will supply the investigational products that match the randomization code assigned to the selected subject, and maintain blinding by using an extra (by unique code) when the investigational product is defective or damaged.

120 subjects were planned. Screening data was reviewed to determine subject eligibility. Subjects who met all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were enrolled into the study. The following investigational products were used: Test product: Dichrostachys glomerata extract (Dyglomera™) at a dose of 400 mg Control product: Placebo at a dose of 400 mg Subjects were assigned to the test group or placebo group in random order. Each subject was administered a single 400 mg dose of Dyglomera or placebo once daily, before lunch or dinner. Measurements were taken at baseline and at the beginning of each of the 5 study visits.

The effect of Dyglomera on body fat and blood parameters were compared at baseline and at the end of the intervention period.

Inclusion Criteria: Patients aged from 19 to 65 years old, Patients with a BMI ranging between 25 and 34.9 kg/m2, Patients available for the entire period of study . Exclusion Criteria: Patients that has an age below 19 years old and greater than 65 years old, Patients not available for the study period, Specific exclusion criteria included: morbid obesity (BMI > 34.9 kg/m2); diabetes mellitus requiring daily insulin management; pregnancy/lactation; active infection; and systemic disease such as HIV/AIDS, active hepatitis or clinical signs of active malignancy within the past 5 years. Other exclusion criteria will include having taken any other medications or any natural health product within 1 month prior to the screening visit.
