This study assessed the effects of oral pomegranate extract and pomegranate juice on satiety parameters in healthy volunteers. The findings suggest that consumption of pomegranate extract can reduce the desire to eat, increase feelings of fullness and satisfaction. These results indicate the potential of pomegranate extract in reducing appetite and aiding in weight loss.
There has been an increasing interest in nutraceuticals and functional foods in reducing appetite and to lose weight. We assessed the effect of oral pomegranate extract (PE) and PE juice (PJ) intake vs. placebo on satiety parameters in healthy volunteers. Twenty-eight subjects (mean age 34.5 +/- 13.7 years, body mass index [BMI] 25.05 +/- 3.91 kg/m(2)) were randomized to 3-week priming supplementation with PE (Pomanox (R)) or placebo. On week 3, satiety parameters were determined on 1 testing day after participants ingested a breakfast and a lunch meal with PJ juice, using 100-mm visual acuity scales (VAS) for hunger, desire to eat, fullness and satisfaction. Meal quality and palatability were also tested. The desire to eat was less at all time points in the PJ juice with PE priming group and participants were also less hungry (p = 0.044) than those who consumed placebo. There was an overall significant difference between the groups (p < 0.001). Participants in the PJ juice with PE priming group experienced significantly greater satisfaction (p = 0.036) and feeling of fullness (p = 0.02) than those in the placebo group. These findings suggest that consumption of PE could have the potential to modulate satiety indicators.
