The authors wish to make the following correction to this paper [1]:
There are text errors in Section 4.3.2 Densitometry, third paragraph. The second sentence states that “...LC-HS extract was statistically less (p > 0.001) compared...”. It should instead read “...LC-HS extract was statistically less (p < 0.001) compared... ”. Furthermore, the last sentence of the same paragraph reads “Interestingly, the differences observed in the reduction of fat mass showed the effectiveness of the HS-LC extract in reducing fat mass”. It should instead read “Interestingly, the differences observed in the reduction of fat mass showed the effectiveness of the LC-HS extract in reducing fat mass”. In this respect, there are several parts of the manuscript which reads HS-LC, it should be read as LC-HS instead. This includes: page 2, paragraph 2; Figure 1; page 4, last paragraph.
There is also a missing explanation in the same section, regarding the intergroup analysis of the results. At the end of the third paragraph, it should include the following sentence: “Intergroup analysis revealed significant differences between both groups, where LC-HS significantly decreased body fat mass compared to placebo (p < 0.003)”.
In Section 4.2 Weight and BMI, the sentence “Therefore, it can be determined that the LC-HS extract significantly decreased the body weight of the subjects (p = 0.014)”, should read “Inter-group analysis revealed that the LC-HS extract significantly decreased the body weight compared to placebo (p = 0.014)”. In the same section, sentence “Therefore, the diminution of BMI after the consumption of the placebo was shown to be less than that observed for the LC-HS extract (p = 0.013)”, should read “Therefore, intergroup analysis revealed that the BMI of the LC-HS group significantly decreased with respect to the placebo group (p = 0.013)”.
Information is missing from Figure 2. The original figure is as follows:
Figure 2. Weight and BMI evolution along the study. * Means statistically significant differences.
Figure 2. Weight and BMI evolution along the study. * Means statistically significant differences.

It should be as follows:
Figure 2. Weight and BMI evolution along the study. * Mean statistically significant differences. ** Mean statistically significant differences between groups.
