WEIGHT LOSS SUMMARY
Perhaps the simplest measure of whether these nutraceuticals combinations work is to compare the pounds of weight lost by each person during the two weeks when they were taking pills, and how much weight they regained during the two weeks after taking pills. - called rebound (rebnd). The table below shows the best, average (avg), and worst weight losses and rebounds for each group on each combination. All weight loss is represented by negative numbers. In the young men and women's group and the men over 45 group, the most effective dosages led to more than 2 pounds of weight loss during two weeks, with continued weight loss after taking the pills. For mature women, as explained in conclusions 4 and 5, a more effective signaling nutraceutical is shown by this study to be nearly certain to work, but is unfortunately more expensive than the ingredients used in this study.
