Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effect of a Probiotic Product on Weight

Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of a Probiotic Product in Weight Control

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Jul 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The study of the intestinal microbiota and its relationship with health and disease, as well as the use of probiotics as effective alternative treatments to improve people's well-being is a field of growing research in recent years. Overweight and obesity are increasingly common due to the current lifestyle, but this is not incompatible with the growing interest of the population in taking care of themselves, both physically and psychologically, and, in general, the interest in food supplements, including those based on probiotics, is increasingly common. The objective of the clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a food supplement based on probiotics to reduce body weight in 104 volunteers with overweight and type I obesity (BMI 25 - 34.9 kg/m2). This randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled clinical trial has a 12-week intervention period, during which subjects have to take a daily dose of the product (probiotic or placebo). In this trial, anthropometric clinical data, the effect of the intervention on blood parameters and the composition of the intestinal microbiota will be analyzed.
