demonstrates the changes in body weight, BMI, serum leptin and serotonin
following supplementation of placebo (Group C), HCA-SX (Group A) and HCA-SX Formula
(Group B) over the period of eight weeks. There was a distinct change observed at the
end of four weeks and eight weeks in both Group A and Group B. In Group C, approximately
0.83 and 1.39 kg reduction in body weights were observed at the end of four and eight weeks,
respectively. Under the same conditions, approximately 2.8 and 5.5 kg reduction in body
weights were observed in Group A, and 3.6 and 6.8 kg reduction in body weights were
observed in the Group B, respectively, at the end of four and eight weeks. Thus, at the end
of eight weeks, Group C only showed a reduction of 1.7% BMI while there were a 6.3% and
7.9% reduction in BMI observed in Group A and Group B, respectively.
