The study is randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial in design and employed a consecutive sampling technique to sample subjects of 70 obese adolescent age 14 - 18 in senior high schools Jakarta.

Blood tests of lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglyceride), fasting blood glucose, liver function (AST,ALT) and oxidative stress biomarker (isoprostane) were taken for every subject after done fasting for 12 hours.
