Efficacy of Crataegus Extract Mixture on Body Fat and Lipid Profiles in Overweight Adults: A 12-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Researchers conducted a study on overweight adults taking Crataegus Extract Mixture (CEM). Results showed CEM decreased body fat, weight, and improved lipid profiles with no adverse events. CEM may be an effective and safe treatment for obesity and dyslipidemia.

The Effect of Opuntia ficus Mucilage Pectin and Citrus aurantium Extract Added to a Food Matrix on the Gut Microbiota of Lean Humans and Humans with Obesity.

Scientists studied how a food gel with certain compounds affected gut bacteria. The gel increased beneficial bacteria growth in lean individuals, but decreased growth in those with obesity. This may impact gut health differently based on weight.

Supplementation with Silybum marianum Extract, Synbiotics, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Vitamins, and Minerals: Impact on Biochemical Markers and Fecal Microbiome in Overweight Dogs.

This study looked at the effect of a supplement on liver functions and gut microbiota in overweight dogs. Results showed improvements in inflammation and metabolic status, but individual variability in the microbiome may impact supplement effectiveness. Further research is needed.
