Brief summary
Overweight and obesity is defined, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), by abnormal or excessive accumulation of adipose or fatty tissue that may be harmful to health. Overweight and obesity are therefore important determinants of health, which expose people to many pathologies whose consequences for individuals are not only health, but also social: stigma, prejudice, discrimination. Indeed, most overweight people have a bad image of themselves. For some people, overweight can trigger stress, malaise and disgust. To break free from this malaise and satisfy the growing desire of women to take care of their body, many products are present in the slimming beauty market. EFFANACA3GEL is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study. 208 healthy volunteers will be followed for 2 months during which they will use ANACA3 slimming gel. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ANACA3 slimming gel on hip and waist circumferences.
