    Onakpoya I, et al

    Published in Br J Nutr

    Key Findings

    Pooled analysis found no statistically significant reduction in body weight with Phaseolus vulgaris; included trials were of poor quality.

    Conclusions

    Evidence is insufficient to conclude that carb-blocker extracts reduce body weight.

    Limitations

    Few, small and methodologically weak trials.

    Supplements Studied

    Compound

    The poor quality of the included RCT prevents us from drawing any firm conclusions about the effects of P. vulgaris supplementation on body weight.
