Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of the GOLO for Life® Plan (G4LP) and Release supplementation on weight loss, body composition, and cardiometabolic parameters in overweight and obese adults. The change from baseline at Days 90 and 180 following the G4LP and supplementation with Release in weight (kg and % of total weight) and fat mass (percent and kg) will be assessed by Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). The weekly change in weight (kilograms and percent change) will also be assessed from baseline to day 180 following the G4LP and Release supplementation. Additionally, the safety and tolerability of the G4LP and Release supplementation will be measured by the occurrence of and/or changes in pre-emergent and post-emergent adverse events (AEs).

Study Arms (1)

Golo for Life® Plan(G4LP) and Release Supplement

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will be instructed to use the resources provided and follow the G4LP for the duration of the study period. Participants will also take one capsule of Release three times a day, to be taken at the beginning of or during each meal, starting on Day 1. If a dose is missed before or during a meal, participants are instructed to take the dose as soon as they remember after the meal. Participants will be advised not to exceed three capsules daily.

Dietary Supplement: Release

Interventions

Release DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

One capsule of Release will be taken three times per day for 180 days in combination with the G4LP.
