Effect of Metabolaid® on AMPK Activation for Weight Loss

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study was to establish a formulation, containing both Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (HS) and Lippia citriodora L. (LC) extracts (Metabolaid®) that had significant capacity to activate the AMPK-enzyme and to reduce triglyceride accumulation in the hypertrophied adipocyte model. Then, we assessed the efficacy of this combination in light-to-moderate-overweight subjects under risk of developing metabolic syndrome.

Clinical Trial Description

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been postulated as a molecular target in the amelioration of obesity-related diseases, where most therapeutic approaches have failed. Plant-polyphenols have shown the capacity to ameliorate obesity-induced metabolic disturbances. A combination of polyphenols (LC-HS) derived from Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (HS) and Lippia citriodora L. (LC) (lemon verbena) (Metabolaid®) was assessed for triglyceride accumulation and AMPK activation in the hypertrophied adipocyte model 3T3-L1. A dietary supplement containing 500 mg of LC-HS was evaluated in a double blind, placebo-controlled and randomized trial in 56 overweight subjects for two months. Anthropometric and circulating biochemical parameters were determined. ;
