Herbal Blend Containing Guarana Helps Delay Gastric Emptying and Induce Weight Loss

In a recent multi-faceted research project including a double-blind placebo-controlled study, an herbal preparation including guarana significantly delayed gastric emptying reducing the time a person perceives gastric fullness. The preparation also induced significant weight loss over a 45 day period of time in overweight patients treated in a primary health care context. Because of the positive results for overweight individuals, the researchers are recommending further clinical studies be conducted.
