SucoBloc(TM) has been shown in placebo-controlled clinical trials over 12 weeks that the participants on average lost 3.5 kg while those receiving noneactive tablets lost 1.2 kg. That is 3 times better weight reduction than those who received the placebo tablets. In conjunction with a low calorie diet and healthy exercise, the weight reduction may be greater. No side effects were registered during the study which was published in the reputable periodical The Journal of International Medical Research.
