Cevena Bioproducts has completed a pilot study of its flagship ingredient Viscofiber demonstrating that the ingredient aids in weight loss.
Seven adult subjects with BMIs between 25 and 35, were recruited for the 16-week trial. Each subject consumed 4 grams of Viscofiber per day for 16 weeks. The study demonstrated that the combination of Viscofiber, a calorie-restricted diet and a healthy lifestyle caused a significant loss of weight. In addition, the subjects experienced a decrease in hunger and an earlier onset of fullness when eating.
“ Viscofiber not only helps promote weight loss, it is a pure fiber extract that also promotes healthy cholesterol and improved glycemic response,” said Rod Charko, president, Cevena Bioproducts.
Viscofiber is a high-viscosity and high-concentration oat beta-glucan (up to 50%) available as a GRAS affirmed, multi-functional ingredient.
