(OTCBB:ORNI) announced that a recently completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, human clinical study with 32 enrolled subjects resulted in a statistically and clinically significant reduction in body weight when healthy, overweight and mildly obese adult volunteers were given daily supplementation of Oragenics’ Weight Loss Agent LPT3-04 over a twelve-week period.
