The forty volunteers were randomized into two groups, twenty persons is a study group taking Triphala herbal formula 1800 mg per day and twenty persons is control group, taking placebo drug. Body mass index, fasting blood sugar, Hemoglobin A1C, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, and WHO-quality of life questionnaire were compared before and after 8 weeks.

By using Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test at 95% confidence level was applied to compare variables before and after taken herbal drugs in each groups. In study group, waist circumference and Hemoglobin A1C were statistically significant changed. In control group, Hemoglobin A1C was statistically significant changed. Other variables were no statistically significant changed. But Triphala herbal formula did not statistically significant change body mass index, waist circumference, fasting blood sugar, Hemoglobin A1C, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, and quality of life in obesity stage 1 subjects compared with placebo drugs by using Mann-whitney U test at 95% confidence level.
