We previously reported32 that the efficacy of HCA depends on initial VFA
values and was obvious in subjects whose initial VFA was 90 cm2
.
Because we enrolled overweight or obese class 1 subjects (BMI, 25–35 kg/m2
) in that study, high VFA was not one of the inclusion criteria. The goal of the present study
was to examine the effects of 12 weeks of G cambogia treatment on visceral fat
accumulation in subjects having a VFA 90 cm2
.
