Researchers from the U.S. conducted an observational study to confirm the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a calorie-restricted Mediterranean diet with targeted dietary supplementation (PROG1). Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that the addition of targeted nutraceutical supplementation to a calorie-restricted Mediterranean diet with lifestyle modifications can improve multiple longevity risk factors more effectively than diet and lifestyle modification alone.
