TLDR Further research is needed to understand Garcinia cambogia's benefits for weight management and PCOS.
The study focused on developing a Garcinia cambogia enriched food product to aid in the management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Garcinia cambogia, known for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, was incorporated into a nutri-bite with varying concentrations. The most acceptable variation contained 1.5g of Garcinia cambogia, along with oats, wheat-bran, peanuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, dates, and dark chocolate. This variation was evaluated for its nutritional content, including ash, moisture, carbohydrates, protein, crude fiber, pH, magnesium, and zinc. The study concluded that further research was necessary to fully understand the potential benefits of Garcinia cambogia enriched products for weight management and PCOS.
