5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial, with two parallel branches depending on the product consumed (experimental product and placebo product) and single-center, to measure the efficacy of a supplement extracted from Persimmon on overweight and obesity grade I in subjects with BMI over 25.
Detailed Description
The product to be consumed is a supplement extracted from the Persimmon. Participants will consume the product for 84 days. They will take one capsule before the two main meals. Subjects will have to make 3 visits to the laboratory. In the initial visit it will be verified if the subject meets the criteria required by the study. Subjects who meet the selection criteria will be randomly assigned to each of the study groups (investigational product or placebo, depending on the group to which they have been assigned). In the other two visits, the subjects will carry out the appropriate tests for taking of data colletion. These visits will be separated by 84 days of product consumption.
