The Importance of Clinical Weight Loss Trials to Test Supplements- If someone :
(1) requires a supplement,
(2) the following calorie-controlled diet,
(3) require regular exercise
And consequently lose weight, what exactly is causing this weight loss – it was a pill, or whether it is diet and exercise this? It is impossible to say exactly. This is why testing is very important clinically. In a typical clinical trial, at least there are 2 groups, which both follow a diet and exercise program, but only one group given supplements, while others were given non-active replacement pill (placebo).
Weight loss results of each group were then compared, allowing the researchers to measure the exact effectiveness of the supplements tested. Unfortunately, most pill-manufacturers do not submit their products for testing in this way. Here are some details from the three trials that weight loss does occur.
