Olive oil compound hydroxytyrosol lowers fat percentage
Study
The supplements that the researchers used were from Italian Fenolia. [fenolia.it] And no, Fenolia and DSM did not fund the research. The researchers got their money from the Italian government.
One group combined this approach wit supplementation: every day 40 grams of protein in the form of a shake, 2 grams of phytosterols, 2 grams of EPA-rich fish oil, probiotics and 1 gram of berberine. All supplements were produced by Nature's Sunshine. [naturessunshine.com] The researchers worked at that company. Sigh.
Results
Supplementation increased the production of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase-1 [SOD1] by the cells. SOD-1 neutralizes up free radicals. Genetically altered mice that can not make this enyzme age faster and are more susceptible from age-related muscle decay. [Free Radic Biol Med. 2006 Jun 1;40(11):1993-2004.]
At the same time, the supplement reduced the percentage of the test subjects, although they had not changed their lifestyle. The researchers measured the fat percentage in the old-fashioned and rock-solid way. They used clippers.
Conclusion
"These results suggest a necessary personalization of hydroxytyrosol doses in order to exert its health benefits in cardiovascular disease prevention and protection of LDL-C particles from oxidative damage."
"However, further clinical trials are needed on a larger population over a longer period to increase knowledge about therapeutic mechanisms and ensure its efficacy and safety."
