Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
At the end of a 3-month lifestyle intervention, all patients giving written informed consent were randomly assigned to two groups for the weight-maintenance phase: 20 of them were supplemented twice a day for 3 months with a dietary supplement (Globes®, Pharmextracta, Pontenure, Piacenza, Italy) and 20 with placebo.Women were blind to the supplementation throughout the whole trial. All women attended a monthly clinical visit during the supplementation period and 3 months after the end of supplementation.
