NCT03568877

Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to establish a formulation, containing both Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (HS) and Lippia citriodora L. (LC) extracts (Metabolaid®) that had significant capacity to activate the AMPK-enzyme and to reduce triglyceride accumulation in the hypertrophied adipocyte model. Then, we assessed the efficacy of this combination in light-to-moderate-overweight subjects under risk of developing metabolic syndrome.
