JBSL-USA has announced the results of a clinical study showing compelling weight loss effects of its Ashitaba Chalcone Powder.
In the randomized, double-blind, parallel group study, 26 slightly obese male and female patients with BMI between 25 and 30 took 200 mg day of Ashitaba Chalcone as an active ingredient after dinner for eight weeks. The patients were measured by CT Scan (total, visceral and subcutaneous fat areas), weight, waist and hip. After the eight weeks, the researchers observed a marked reduction in the visceral and subcutaneous fat, as well as in weight, and waist and hip ratio. The noted that the rate of change in visceral fat was greater than that of the subcutaneous fat, and attributed this to the fat-burning promotion and fat accumulation-inhibition effects of the ingredient.
