A peer-reviewed, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 12-week study (29 participants completed) examined oral intake of the spa-derived microalgal material in apparently healthy, overweight Japanese adults and reported statistically significant differences versus placebo in several baseline-adjusted metabolic parameters. It was not a disease-treatment trial.
