Double blind studies done in Japan using rosehips on overweight subjects showed that in 12 weeks abdominal fat, visceral fat, body weight, and BMI all decreased significantly in the rosehip group. Rosehip extract appears to be very promising at safely reducing abdominal visceral fat in pre-obese people.
Rosehips have been used medicinally for thousands of years, and have been studied to have value in a range of health conditions. Now research suggests this fruit from wild rose blossoms may be an effective treatment for the modern epidemic of obesity.[i]
Earlier animal studies demonstrated that rosehip extract inhibits weight gain and decreases visceral fat. But it wasn’t clear whether it could also help people.
Japanese researchers decided to find out. They conducted a 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 32 people with a body mass index of more than 25 but less than 30. A BMI in that range is considered overweight but not obese.
