Factor4™ Weight Loss Study
In addition, subjects lost significant body fat and decreased their body mass index (BMI).
In contrast to numerous weight loss products and dietary regimens that cause little or no sustained reductions in body weight, the subjects in this study showed significant, sustained and persistent loss of weight with little change in dietary habits and little or no changes in exercise activity.
The longevity of the Factor4™ Weight Loss study is a testament to the pleasure of using Factor4 Weight Control™, containing Power Amino Acids™ as well as other nutritional supplements (proteins, vitamins, minerals, fiber, FOS, enzymes), formulated to satisfy the appetite, correct nutritional imbalances and thereby reduce consumption of calorie-rich foods that lead to cumulative weight gains.

Based on weekly measurements of body weight as well as body composition (percent body fat, fat pounds, lean body mass, total body water and body mass index) in a group of 25 overweight and obese adults (9 males and 16 females), the following positive effects were observed:
- The results of the 3 month study showed that 96% of subjects (24 out of 25 subjects) who followed the Factor4 Weight Loss regimen over that period of time lost weight.
- The results of the six month study on 13 subjects indicated that subjects continued to lose significant additional weight during the second 3 month period.
- Weight loss performance fell into three groups: (i) modest weight loss (1-9 pounds; n = 13 subjects), (ii) moderate weight loss (10-19 pounds; n = 6 subjects) and (iii) large-scale weight loss (20-29 pounds; n = 5 subjects).
- Body Mass Index decreased in all subjects measured.
- Weight loss occurred in the absence of forced dietary changes and increased exercise.
NovaLife Nutrition conducted a 24 week weight loss study in Canyon Lake, CA, to assess the effectiveness of Factor4 Weight Control™ in causing weight loss in a group of women and men who suffered from chronic refractory overweight disorders and obesity over the past 10-20 years. Twenty four (24) out of twenty five (25) subjects lost significant amounts of weight, indicating a 96% success rate. Note that subjects were not required to engage in an exercise routine or adhere to a strict dietary regimen. The graphs below represent body weight measurements in 8 subjects that lost between 15 and 30 pounds. Weight loss performance may be further accelerated by combining Factor4 Weight Control™ with modest restrictions in food intake and modest engagements in exercise routines. Under these conditions individuals may lose up to 1 pound of weight every two days.

STUDY DESIGN
The three month weight loss study was conducted from May 15 through August 15, 2006. Thirty subjects participated in weekly body composition measurements that included (i) body weight in pounds, (ii) body fat in pounds & percent, (iii) lean body weight in pounds & percent, (iv) total body water and (v) body mass index, which scores body weight as “normal”, “overweight” or “obese”. Twenty five of the subjects completed the entire 3 month study.
BACKGROUND
Each of the subjects that participated in the weight loss study had a history of chronic, refractory overweight and obese conditions for many years, most for more than 10 to 20 years. The majority of these subjects had tried several, if not many, fashionable diets and weight-loss medications with little success. While they were successful in losing a few pounds with each diet, they were unable to sustain weight loss due to a variety of reasons.
RESULTS OF THE 3-MONTH STUDY
Twenty four out of twenty five (24/25) subjects lost weight during the 3 month study demonstrating that 96% of subjects achieved weight loss during the Factor4 Weight Control Study.
STUDY EXTENDED TO SIX MONTHS
Because of the success of the 3 month study, it was decided to determine whether or not a subgroup of subjects could continue to lose weight by following the Factor4 Weight Control™ regimen for an additional 3 months, making a total of 6 months. Thirteen (13) subjects signed up to continue the weight loss regimen over an additional 3 month period. Subjects that lost moderate and large-scale amounts of weight showed steady, cumulative and persistent weight loss.
