The main goal of this study is to investigate how dihydrogen supplementation impacts body composition, appetite, quality of life specific to obesity, and levels of the hormone GLP-1 in men and women with obesity. This randomized controlled trial aims to explore whether dihydrogen can improve these health indicators.
The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of dihydrogen supplementation on body composition indices, appetite, obesity-specific quality of life, and circulating GLP-1 levels in obese men and women
