Overview

Systematic review assesses astaxanthin's role in weight control, showing no significant effects on BMI or body weight.

Key Points

  • Astaxanthin supplementation showed no significant impact on body mass index in adults, indicating limited effectiveness.
  • Pooled results revealed a non-significant decrease in body weight, specifically showing no benefit compared to control groups.
  • The systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and utilized data from nine clinical trials for comprehensive analysis.
  • The findings suggest that astaxanthin does not enhance weight management, highlighting the need for more extensive research.
