What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
dietary supplement consumptionDietary supplement
Consumption of the product under study for 84 days, plecebo or experimental product
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| experimental group (Lippia citriodora + sabdariffa) | Experimental | Consumption for 84 days of Lippia citriodora 325 mg + Hibiscus sabdariffa 175 mg.
Two capsules per day will be consumed thirty minutes before breakfast orally for 84 days. Receives: Dietary Supplement: dietary supplement consumption |
| control group Placebo (sucrose) | Placebo comparator | Consumption for 84 days of Lippia citriodora 325 mg + Hibiscus sabdariffa 175 mg or Placebo (sucrose) Two capsules per day will be consumed thirty minutes before breakfast orally for 84 days.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Total fat mass
Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), measured in grams.
Measured: From baseline to 84 days
Fat mass in torso
Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), measured in grams.
Measured: From baseline to 84 days
Fat mass in lower limbs
Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), measured in grams.
Measured: From baseline to 84 days
Secondary outcomes (9)
Fat mass
Bioimpedancetry, in grams.
Measured: Time Frame: A record of body composition will be made five times during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, at 14 days, 28, 56 and 84 days. For this we will use a TANITA.
Muscle mass
Bioimpedancetry, in grams.
Measured: Time Frame: A record of body composition will be made five times during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, at 14 days, 28, 56 and 84 days. For this we will use a TANITA.
Percentage of fat mass
Bioimpedancetry.
Measured: Time Frame: A record of body composition will be made five times during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, at 14 days, 28, 56 and 84 days. For this we will use a TANITA.
blood samples: Glucidal metabolism and lipid metabolism.
BASIC GLUCEMIA, TOTAL CHOLESTEROL, HDL CHOLESTEROL, LDL , CHOLESTEROL, TRIGLICERIDS, GLICATED HEMOGLOBIN. It was measured in milligrams per deciliter
Measured: Time Frame: Blood samples will be taken twice, once at baseline, at the beginning of the trial and once at the end after 84 days of use.
Subjective sensation of product consumption
5-point hedonic scale. There are five points, being 1 I do not like and 5 I like it a lot. A scale will be passed through paper.
Measured: Time Frame: Subjects will complete the hedonic scale four times. at 14, 28, 56 and 84 days of consumption of the product under study.
physical activity
MEASURED WITH ACTIGRAPH wGT3X-BT
Measured: Time Frame: An accelerometer will be placed twice on the subjects. The first time at baseline and the second after taking 84 days of consumption of the product under study
liver safety variables
It is a blood test that measures the presence of some enzymes, proteins and bilirubin in the blood, with the aim of determining if there is any alteration in the liver. Enzyme GPT, GOT, Gamma GT, LDH, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin (UI/L)
Measured: Hematological samples were taken before (day 0) and after consumption of the product (day 84) both in the control group and in the experimental group.
Weight
measured in Kg.
Measured: Time Frame: A record of body composition will be made five times during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, at 14 days, 28, 56 and 84 days. For these determinations we will use a scale (SECA).
Height
Measured in cm.
Measured: Time Frame: A record of body composition will be made five times during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, at 14 days, 28, 56 and 84 days. For these determinations we will use a scale (SECA).

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Apr 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
