caralluma fimbriata

One human intervention (n=62 at baseline, 50 completions) on Caralluma ingestion in overweight persons noted that 1g (made from aerial parts of the plant, 40/60 aqueous/ethanolic extract; 12:1 concentrated extract equivalent to 12g dried plant) was able to induce 2.5% weight loss in 60 days whereas placebo induced 1.2% weight loss when both groups were subject to 'standard weight loss through caloric restriction'.[1] Only waist circumference decreased in a statistically significant manner, while weight and body fat trended towards significance with P values of 0.15 and 0.07; respectively.[1] Final fat loss was 1.2kg in the Caralluma group and 0.2kg in the placebo, and the effects were hypothesized to be through reducing hunger (significant) and the urge to eat (non-significant) with no effect on satiety (feeling of fullness), and Caralluma resulted in a 200kcal deficit while placebo did not, indicating that these effects on fat loss were secondary to compliance to the diet.[1] This study noted 20% decrease in subjective hunger that was causative for an 8% reduction in food.[1]
