A Clinical Trial to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of an Origin Satiety Complex on Self-reported Hunger and Satiety in Healthy Adults

A Randomized, Triple-blind, Placebo-controlled, Cross-over Clinical Trial to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of an Origin Satiety Complex on Self-reported Hunger and Satiety in Healthy Adults

The goal of this clinical trial is to the safety and efficacy of the investigational product (IP), Origin Satiety Complex, on hunger and satiety in healthy adults. The main question it aims to answer is what is the difference in the net incremental area under the curve (niAUC) for self-reported postprandial hunger and satiety (T = 0 - T = 10.5 h), as assessed by satiety and hunger items of the Eating Behavior Visual Analog Scales (VAS), between the IP and placebo.
