Benefits
Waist and body composition
In a single manufacturer-sponsored 12-week clinical study (Cases 2015, 900 mg/day in overweight adults), regular consumption was associated with improvements in body-composition and metabolic measures. The trial's outcomes were largely soft/self-reported and it has not been independently replicated.
Metabolic support
The polyphenols are studied for supporting healthy metabolism and the body's handling of fats and sugars.
Antioxidant action
The fruit polyphenols provide antioxidant activity that supports metabolic and vascular health.
Mechanism of action
Polyphenol metabolic modulation
Fruit polyphenols influence fat metabolism and energy balance, which may influence central fat over time; this human effect rests on a single manufacturer-sponsored trial.
Antioxidant support
By lowering oxidative stress, the polyphenols support healthier metabolic function.
Clinical trials
Study of regular consumption of the Fiit-ns polyphenol extract on body-composition measures. (Cases et al. 2015, International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition)
Overweight adults.
Regular consumption (900 mg/day for 12 weeks) was reported to support body-composition and metabolic measures versus baseline. This was an industry (Fytexia)-sponsored trial reporting largely soft/self-reported outcomes, with no independent replication.
