Herbal extract for weight management in people with excess belly fat
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a natural supplement made from the root of the Polygonatum sibiricum plant, commonly used in Eastern herbal medicine, can safely reduce visceral fat—the deep belly fat linked to health risks—in adults who are overweight or have high body fat. If you're tired of weight-loss plans that don't target belly fat and are open to trying a plant-based supplement, this study may be a good fit.
