ABOUT THE CALERIE STUDY

CALERIE began as the first U.S. clinical trial to investigate the impacts of sustained calorie restriction in primates.

The two phases of CALERIE study concluded caloric restriction instigates weight loss, reduces risks of cardiovascular disease and chronic disease, and contributes to a significant reduction in negative effects of the aging process.

The secondary outcomes and health effects of CR ranged from improved body composition, reduced oxidative stress, increased immune function, lowered glucose levels, improved cognitive function, and long-term reduction to risks of obesity and early morbidity.
