Benefits
Reduced body weight and fat, lean mass preserved (branded RCT)
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel trial (n=70), 400 mg/day for 12 weeks reduced body weight, BMI and fat mass while preserving lean mass versus placebo. One manufacturer-associated study.
Polyphenol/quercetin metabolic support
Rose petal polyphenols including isoquercetin have antioxidant and metabolic activity that may support appetite regulation and fat handling.
Mechanism of action
Polyphenol modulation of fat metabolism
Rose polyphenols are proposed to influence appetite signaling and fat storage/oxidation, the basis for the body-composition findings.
Antioxidant activity
Isoquercetin and related flavonoids reduce oxidative stress associated with adiposity and metabolic strain.
Clinical trials
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel trial, 400 mg/day for 12 weeks (BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 2024).
70 adults (35 per group)
Reduced body weight, BMI and fat mass with preserved lean mass versus placebo. Manufacturer-associated.
