ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether adding molecular hydrogen supplements can help overweight and obese teenagers lose weight more effectively during a 4-week weight loss retreat. The researchers will look at various factors, such as changes in body composition, fitness levels, and blood samples to check insulin sensitivity, fat levels, and markers of inflammation. The goal is to see if the hydrogen supplements make a positive difference in these areas.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be between the ages of 4 and 17 and have a body mass index (BMI) that shows they are overweight or obese. Girls must have regular menstrual cycles, and a legal guardian must provide consent for them to join. However, individuals with certain health issues, like high blood pressure or heart problems, won’t be able to participate. If someone is selected for the trial, they can expect to engage in activities focused on weight loss and may receive the hydrogen supplements during this period. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to provide valuable insights into improving weight loss strategies for adolescents.
