Appetite Suppression Trial With Polydextrose

Overweight and obesity are a global epidemic, which causes a rapid increase in the frequency of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Food ingredients that influence the mechanisms that regulate satiety may play a role in weight management. Suppression of appetite may reduce energy intake, which in return may lead to body weight reduction. This study aims to verify the appetite suppressive effect of polydextrose in comparison to a placebo in normal weight and overweight women.
