Effects of ISOThrive on Bodyweight, Body Composition, Hunger/Satiety and Cardiac Risk Measures in Overweight Adults

To compare the effects of daily intake of the ISOThrive supplement vs. a placebo on the primary outcome measure of body weight and secondary outcome measures (hunger/satiety, health-related measures and self-reported quality of life) in a group of overweight but otherwise healthy adults.

Hypothesis

The investigator's hypothesize that daily intake for a 3-month period of the ISOThrive supplement vs. a placebo will demonstrate beneficial effects on the primary outcome measure of body weight and secondary outcome measures (hunger/satiety, health-related measures and self-reported quality of life) in a group of overweight adults.

Specific Aims

* To determine the effects of the ISOThrive supplement on body weight in overweight adults encouraged to reduce calories and exercise regularly, but on an unrestricted diet and without specific exercise instruction. Specifically, to demonstrate a clinically meaningful reduction in body weight in a group of overweight adults after 3 months of daily consumption of the ISOThrive supplement.
* To determine the effects of the ISOThrive supplement on hunger/satiety, body composition, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, blood lipid levels, inflammatory and satiety serum markers and self-reported quality of life in overweight adults encouraged to reduce calories and exercise regularly, but on an unrestricted diet and without specific exercise instruction. Specifically, to demonstrate an improvement in hunger/satiety and a clinically meaningful improvement in other measures in a group of overweight adults after 3 months of daily consumption of the ISOThrive supplement.
* To demonstrate the safety of the ISOThrive supplement in terms of its impact on blood, liver and kidney function in overweight adults. Specifically, to demonstrate the lack of a negative impact on blood, liver and kidney function tests in a group of overweight adults after 3 months of daily consumption of the ISOThrive supplement.
* To determine the effects of the ISOThrive supplement on Gut health. Specifically, to demonstrate improvement in Gut health as measured by abdominal bloating, abdominal gas, and abdominal pain/discomfort at the end of 3 months of daily consumption of the ISOThrive supplement.
