Functional Bioactive Supplement Effect in Lost Weight Treatment
The purpose this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of a functional bioactive
 supplement associated with a hypocaloric equilibrated diet to treat obese and overweight
 individuals. The functional bioactive supplement, containing antioxidant extracted from
 rosemary, oligosaccharides derived from lactulose and bioactive peptides, was developed to
 satiety control, improves of anti-inflammatory response and antioxidant defense mechanisms as
 well as to weight loss.
A randomized, parallel, double-blind, controlled was performed to evaluate the therapeutic
 effect of a functional bioactive supplement associated with a hypocaloric equilibrated diet
 to treatment of obesity and overweight.
