Study summary

SATIOSTAT is a composition comprising a specific dietary fibre component (a mixture of hydrocolloids with excellent safety profiles and a long history of use in humans) and a lipid component (long-chain fatty acids). The goal of this combination is to achieve long-acting delivery of long-chain fatty acids to the intestinal lining, triggering the sustained release of satiety-signals from intestinal cells, and consequently reducing appetite and lowering food intake in humans.

Over a period of 6 weeks, volunteers will ingest SATIOSTAT as meal replacement at lunch and as first course at dinner. Once before and after these 6 weeks the investigators will carry out an oral glucose challenge, measure satiation hormones and examine faeces (gut microbiota). Volunteers will fill in a food diary and a questionnaire for gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life. The whole study will take approximately 8-10 weeks.

Study arms

  • Placebo comparator
    Control

    10 obese, non-diabetic candidates will serve as control-group. All assessments are carried out just as in the intervention groups. The control granulates consists of maize starch and long-chain fatty acids with powder.

    Dietary Supplement: Control

  • Active comparator
    SATIOSTAT

    10 obese, non-diabetic candidates will ingest SATIOSTAT as meal replacement at lunch and as first course at dinner over a period of 6 weeks. The SATIOSTAT granulates consists of hydrocolloids (fibers) and long-chain fatty acids with powder.

    Dietary Supplement: SATIOSTAT
