Lembas
The goal of this study is to see if a daily supplement called Lembas Edge™ helps control appetite and fullness in healthy adults who are overweight. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does taking Lembas Edge™ help reduce hunger and improve feelings of fullness (appetite and satiety)? 2. How does the supplement affect body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist size, food cravings ("food noise"), and digestion? Researchers will compare two different doses of Lembas Edge™ to a placebo (a pill that looks identical but contains no active supplement) to see how well it works. Participants will be asked to: 1. Take the study supplement or placebo twice a day (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) for 6 months, with an option to continue in an "open label extension" for an extra 3 months 2. Log their daily meals and snacks and confirm when they take their product using a smartphone app 3. Weigh themselves and check their body composition weekly using a special scale provided by the study 4. Answer weekly and monthly surveys about their hunger levels, food thoughts, digestion, and any health symptoms
The rationale for this study is to observe safe, well-tolerated nutritional intervention that support appetite regulation, satiety, and long-term weight control. The current study aims to evaluate the impact of an investigational supplement, Lembas Edge™, on satiety-related outcomes and body weight relevant to weight management in overweight and mildly obese healthy adults. The safety profile will be measured via activities and technologies that can successfully and effectively be completed and utilized in a home setting.
