      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomization will perform using the random block method (1: 1: 1: 1 ratio) for four groups (one control and three intervention groups). In this method, blocks of four with rotation will be created by an out-of-study person. Then, a block will be randomly selected to determine the groups assigned to the first four participants. The random-blocks selection process will be repeated to determine the random allocation for the entire sample size. For allocation concealment, after determining the random sequence, these sequences will be placed in numbered sealed opaqued envelopes for each participant. An out-of-study person familiar with randomization will perform this process. During the study, by entering any participant in the study, based on the sequence, an envelope will be opened and the allocated group will be revealed, Blinding description: In this study, the produced edible functional powders (including 3 types of powders) and the placebo are the same in color, odor, and taste. The sachets of all four types of powder will be quite similar in appearance, color, and size. Sachets will be named A, B, C, and D. The process of filling and naming the sachets will be done by an out-of-study person. Also, study groups will be named in accordance with the letters on the sachets. Therefore, in this study, participants and the research team (Including the principal investigator, investigators, clinical caregiver, and outcome assessor) will be blinded to the type of powder consumed by each participant until the end of the data analysis process.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: Dissolve and receive curcumin-enriched edible functional powder containing 1000 mg of curcumin (Karen Pharma and Food Supplement Co.) in water daily for 8 weeks. They also follow a low-calorie diet with a reduction of 500 kcal during the study. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: Dissolve and receive probiotic-enriched edible functional powder containing 10^9 CFU of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus (Parsilact Co.) in water daily for 8 weeks. They also follow a low-calorie diet with a reduction of 500 kcal during the study. Intervention 3: Intervention group 3: Dissolve and receive curcumin-probiotic-enriched edible functional powder containing 1000 mg of curcumin (Karen Pharma and Food Supplement Co.) and 10^9 CFU of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus (Parsilact Co.) in water daily for 8 weeks. They also follow a low-calorie diet with a reduction of 500 kcal during the study. Intervention 4: Control group: Dissolve and receive placebo powder in water daily for 8 weeks. They also follow a low-calorie diet with a reduction of 500 kcal during the study.</i_freetext>
