Zotrim Review - Does it Work…?

The study quoted as evidence of Zotrim’s effectiveness was published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics (June 2001, vol 14, no 3, p243-250), which is the journal of the British Dietetic Association.

The double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel trial (Andersen and Fogh, 2001) comprised 47 overweight people, half of whom took Zotrim for 45 days, the other half a placebo for the same period. The research participants were on no special dietary regime.

The Zotrim group had a prolonged gastric emptying time of 58 minutes compared to 38 minutes in the placebo group.

The average weight loss over the trial period was 5.1kg (11lbs) in the Zotrim group compared to 0.3kg (less than 1lb) in the placebo group. The results were statistically significant.

The 22 participants that continued to take Zotrim were followed up and maintained their weight loss over a full 12 months. More on Zotrim Review
