Methods

The study was an 8-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with a 2-week washout period for subjects who were currently taking anti-inflammatory or antioxidant products.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of multiple dosages of XanGo Juice compared with placebo in the improvement of CRP and antioxidant levels in obese patients with a confirmed history of inflammation.

Results

XanGo Juice was shown to reduce CRP levels and to improve weight and body fat in an overweight population. These results suggest that XanGo Juice may help maintain cardiovascular health.*

XanGo Juice demonstrated an ability to reduce CRP levels at all 3 dosages while the placebo group actually experienced a small increase in CRP levels. CRP decreased in all 3 dosages vs. placebo over the 8 week study with the 9 oz. XanGo Juice group being statistically significant when compared to placebo.

The XanGo Juice product was shown to be safe at all dosages tested. There were no adverse events (clinical, laboratory, or vital sign) attributed to the product during the course of the study.
