2/5 Evidence Score

Fiit-ns® is a fruit-derived polyphenol extract from Fytexia, developed to support weight and metabolic health. In a single 12-week manufacturer-sponsored trial (Cases 2015, 900 mg/day), its polyphenols were studied for supporting body-composition and metabolic measures as part of a healthy lifestyle; the outcomes were largely self-reported and the trial has not been independently replicated.

Studied Dose 900 mg/day (as studied in Cases 2015, 12 weeks).
Active Compound A standardized polyphenol extract from fruit, providing flavonoids and other plant polyphenols.

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

1

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.

2

Antioxidant support

By lowering oxidative stress, the polyphenols support healthier metabolic function.

Clinical trials

1
Fruit Polyphenol Extract and Body Composition — RCT
PubMed

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.

Side effects and drug interactions

Common Potential side effects

Generally well-tolerated — adverse effects are uncommon at normal doses.
Mild digestive upset is occasionally reported.
Discontinue if any unusual reaction occurs.

Important Drug interactions

Diabetes medication — may affect blood sugar; monitor.
Anticoagulants — polyphenols may have a mild additive effect.
Tell your doctor if you manage a metabolic condition.
