A double‐blind, randomized, parallel‐group, placebo‐controlled study has been carried out in order to evaluate the effect of orally self‐administered Slim339 ® , a proprietary fixed combination of Garcinia cambogia extract with calcium pantothenate (standardized for the content of hydroxycitric acid and pantothenic acid) and extracts of Matricaria chamomilla , Rosa damascena , Lavandula officinalis and Cananga odorata , on body weight in overweight and obese volunteers. During a 60‐day treatment period, the average reduction in body weight for the group receiving Slim339 ( n = 30) was 4.67% compared with 0.63% for the placebo group ( n = 28) ( p < 0.0001). Weight losses of ≥3 kg were recorded for 23 subjects in the treatment group and only one in the placebo group. It is concluded that Slim339 represents a potential therapy for obesity.
