How IGOB131 Works
Researchers have identified unique bioactive properties that make IGOB131 an effective functional ingredient for weight loss and weight management products. IGOB131 helps achieve healthy levels of:
-
Adiponectin, a hormone fat cells produce to balance energy, reduce fat cell size and protect heart and vascular cells
-
Leptin, a hormone the brain relies upon to help regulate appetite, satiety and fat stores
-
C-reactive protein, a systemic inflammation biomarker
-
Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol
Clinical Research
Five peer-reviewed, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies with more than 300 subjects consistently showed IGOB131 safely restored metabolic wellness and significantly reduced body weight and improved body composition.
In a randomized, double-blind study of 102 overweight subjects, participants taking 150 mgs of IGOB131 twice daily before meals for 10 weeks had statistically significant improvements in body weight and composition in comparison to the control group. The results, which were published in Lipids in Health and Disease, showed IGOB131 group:
-
Lost an average of 28 lbs.*
-
Cut 6.7 inches from their waistlines*
-
Reduced body fat 18.4%*
In addition, blood serum samples of the IGOB131 group showed significant improvements in cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, blood glucose, C-reactive protein, adiponectin and leptin levels in comparison to the placebo group.*
Similar results were obtained in three additional clinical studies involving an additional 160 subjects.* IGOB131 is U.S. FDA GRAS and supported by multiple published safety and toxicology studies.
