Validated in clinical studies, the system offers potentially valuable appetite and weight control / management strategies
About
An effective method for delivery of small molecules to the colon has been developed which targets receptors in the region of the gut thought to be involved in appetite regulation and metabolic control. First-in-human studies have shown an acute reduction in appetite and food intake with this system and long-term studies have shown beneficial effects in weight management and improved insulin sensitivity. The development potentially offers valuable appetite and weight control/management strategies which could target specific populations (weight loss in the obese) and the general population (weight management). Key Benefits: System has been validated in clinical studies Low cost Natural product based Easy delivery via normal food chain. Proposed product could be used in 1) ingredient within diet food or supplement 2) post weight-management supplement 3) medical food for diabetes
