SUNCATM, the the new Vidya Herbs sunflower
extract, clinically proven for weight, body composition and cholesterol
improvements in a 12-weeks, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
The aim of this randomised, placebo-controlled,
double-blind, parallel group clinical study was to evaluate the clinical
effects of SUNCATM sunflower (Helianthus
annuus) seed extract supplementation on the weight and body composition of
obese adults.
A total of 50 subjects of both sexes were randomly
assigned to SUNCATM or placebo groups, receiving a 250 mg capsule
two times a day (one before breakfast and one before lunch) of SUNCATM
or a placebo respectively for 12 weeks. At the end of the treatment, a
significant decrease in body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist
circumference was observed, especially for women over 30 years of age. Body
composition in relation to fat mass and a decrease in blood cholesterol were
also observed. The consumption of SUNCATM has beneficial effects on
body weight, fat mass and lipid profile.
