NCT03823196

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the metabolization and the bioavailability of bioactive compounds from Sinetrol® Xpur, a polyphenol-rich ingredient, during a 16-week long chronical supplementation. It will be investigated the mechanism of action in adipocyte cells to try to explain the beneficial effects of the ingredient on body composition, especially on both abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat mass.
