Macro partitioning
Flavonoids inhibit pancreatic lipase, alpha-amylase, and alpha-glucosidase, thereby reducing the hydrolysis and absorption of dietary fats and carbohydrates.
To potentially reduce fat and carbohydrate absorption, include flavonoid-rich foods (like berries, tea, citrus) in your diet. However, the paper relies on concentrated extracts and in vitro models, so normal dietary intake may not provide the same enzyme-inhibiting effects as studied supplements.
Dietary flavonoids can reduce fat and carbohydrate intake by regulating their hydrolysis and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract (40).
Why this rating
The paper is a review citing in vitro and in vivo studies; no large-scale human clinical trials for specific flavonoid dosages are detailed in the text.
