Obesity and overweight are global health concerns affecting over 1 billion people, as per the WHO. Phytoconstituent-based supplements are alternatives to anti-obesity drugs because of fewer side effects and less stringent guidelines during drug approvals. This clinical trial assessed the potential of Kapiva Get Slim Juice to effectively manage weight, anthropometry and improve QOL. It was a parallel-arm, open label study testing safety and efficacy of Kapiva Get Slim Juice in overweight to obese patients (Group A) and overweight to obese patients with hypothyroidism (Group B) by comparing pre-and post-treatment status of the patients from the same group. In both groups A and B, Kapiva Get Slim Juice resulted in an average weight reduction of 7.05 kg and 5.67 kg, respectively, over 90 days. Both groups exhibited significant reductions in BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, mid-upper arm circumference, waist/hip ratio, body fat percentage, and visceral fat percentage. Participants reported enhanced QOL, improved physical and emotional aspects, and reduced symptoms. The product was safe and well-tolerated, and there were no adverse events. It can be concluded from the study that Kapiva Get Slim juice provides a promising solution for individuals looking to manage their weight effectively and enhance their overall well-being. Its efficacy, safety, and potential to address various symptoms related to obesity and hypothyroidism make it a valuable addition to weight management products in the market.
