The only way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories than we expend, to adopt a healthier, more stringent diet, and to be more physically active. There is no exception. Diets, drugs, and even weight loss surgery are just complex ways of supporting that lifestyle change, and in the absence of long term behavioural change any weight lost will inevitably be regained. The use of drugs to aid weight loss is controversial. They can help to transform and save lives. In clinical studies compared to placebo treated patients, drugs can be shown to increase weight loss from 4. 5kg to around 9kg over 12 months, enough to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and prevent type 2 diabetes… There is no exception.

In clinical studies compared to placebo treated patients, drugs can be shown to increase weight loss from 4. 5kg to around 9kg over 12 months, enough to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and prevent type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, after a cessation of treatment many patients, as many as 90%, might go on to regain most of the weight lost and the most common reason for this is a failure to maintain improved lifestyle habits.

According to Ray, when the ERSP first initiated its inquiry, it raised several issues which were quickly resolved after review of the multiple studies and scientific articles Garden of Life submitted. The submissions included two human clinical studies on the proprietary fucoTHIN formula with a total of 150 participants, two animal studies demonstrating that fucoxanthin increased the metabolic process in cells, as well as several studies as support for the efficacy of fucoTHIN. The ERSP agreed that the 150 participants in the Company’s human weight loss study followed the “Gold Standard” of double-blind placebo controlled studies specifically performed on the effects of fucoTHIN on the human body. In a study of 150 overweight women, the ERSP noted that the group taking fucoTHIN lost an average of 14. 5 pounds while the placebo group only lost 3 pounds. The studies lasted 16 weeks and during that time the women followed a 1,800 calorie per day diet. During the ERSP review, Garden of Life noted that it was in the process of revising its advertising and had begun steps to modify claims of product superiority to conform to ERSP recommendations.
