Supplementation with 5g/day spinach-derived thylakoid membranes combined with a hypo-caloric diet significantly improves atherogenic indices (AIP, CRI-I, CRI-II) and insulin resistance surrogates (TyG-BMI, METS-IR) in obese women with PCOS compared to placebo.
If you have PCOS and are overweight, adding 5 grams of spinach thylakoid extract daily to your calorie-restricted diet may help improve your blood vessel health markers and insulin sensitivity more than dieting alone. Take it 30 minutes before lunch.
Thylakoid membranes of spinach supplementation along with a calorie restriction diet showed a significant decrease in the AIP, CRI-I, II, TyG-BMI, and METS-IR (P < 0.05).
Why this rating
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with adequate sample size for the population, though limited to a specific demographic.
