study on weight loss

Finally. A healthy range of great tasting, natural, weight management products driven by science. Yes, all our products are science-backed – and we have the studies to prove it!

What did the study investigate?

Independently carried out by Oxford Brookes University, the study investigated the impact SlimBiome® – the weight management ingredient found within the GoFigure® product range – could have on food choice, fullness, hunger and food cravings between meals in 20, apparently healthy, overweight and obese adults over a 4-week period.

How was it carried out?

• Through a parallel, double blind, placebo, controlled randomised study 20 females, aged 18-65 years, with a BMI of 25-35kg/m2
• The study randomly assigned SlimBiome® or placebo treatment to the participants
• Participants took 3g SlimBiome® or the placebo with 200ml water, three times daily, 30min before each main meal for 4 weeks, while following the Eatwell Guidelines for healthy eating (Public Health England)

What did we find out?

1. Increased the feeling of fullness

2. Reduced fat intake

In conclusion

If you combine SlimBiome® with healthy eating, it may be used as an effective means of supporting hunger-free weight management.
