Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates the effects of a postbiotic combination called ABB C3 on reducing body fat and improving metabolic health in children and teenagers. The study consists of a 3-month trial with half participants taking ABB C3 and the other half a placebo, monitoring body composition and blood markers. Afterward, participants can continue with ABB C3 for an additional 3 months. The goal is to determine if ABB C3 is a safe and effective way to help young people improve their health by reducing body fat.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study focuses on evaluating the effects of a combination of postbiotics called ABB C3 in reducing body fat and improving glucose metabolism. The study proposes a randomized, double-blind clinical trial with participants (aged 8-18 years) randomized into the ABB C3 supplement group or a placebo group. Over a period of 3 months, body composition and relevant blood parameters will be monitored (Study Phase). Subsequently, all participants will be offered to continue with the ABB C3 supplement for an additional 3 months, constituting the Follow-up Phase. The study protocol includes collecting data on possible adverse events. Blood samples and DXA scans will be performed to assess changes in body composition and metabolic health parameters. In summary, the study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of the ABB C3 postbiotic in helping reduce body fat and improve metabolic profiles in children and adolescents.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Active control

Participants in this arm will receive the usual treatment for obesity at our hospital, based on lifestyle changes (encouraging a healthy diet and physical activity) for 3 months. Participants will receive a daily dose of placebo for these 3 months, then given the option to receive a daily dose of probiotic ABB C3 for 3 more months.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR
