New studies demonstrate that smartfiberstixx - when incorporated into diet - can act as a trigger limiting hunger feeling and energy intake

A study in rats fed a diet supplemented with smartfiberstixx (10%) or a standard diet (control) for 3 weeks showed significantly lower energy intake than rats fed a control diet that did not contain smartfiberstixx. This led to a significant decrease in body fat mass after 3 weeks which was most pronounced for smartfiberstixx fed groups (30% decrease) vs. controls. Parallel with these observations, the plasma level of the hunger-repressing gut peptide GLP-1 was significantly higher in the portal vein of the rats fed smartfiberstixx than in control animals.

Recently the satiety-inducing effects of smartfiberstixx were confirmed in a human volunteer pilot intervention study. Ten healthy men and women aged 21-39 years with normal BMI values took part in a cross-over and placebo-controlled trial. Subjects were supplemented at breakfast and dinner with smartfiberstixx (8g/meal) or placebo (maltodextrin). After breakfast, smartfiberstixx significantly increased satiety as compared to the placebo treatment. After the dinner meal, higher levels of satiety were obtained and maintained in volunteers supplemented with smartfiberstixx compared to the placebo subjects. Total energy intake during the day was significantly lower in volunteers supplemented with smartfiberstixx compared to the placebo group.

In summary, smartfiberstixx have been shown to modulate food intake and body weight in animal and human models. smartfiberstixx could thus play a key role as a new tool helping to fight the obesity epidemic.
