Aid weight management

Heart, liver, kidney, and numerous metabolic problems are all associated with obesity. In rat trials, researchers have examined the impact of tamarind on controlling weight and obesity. It was discovered that tamarind pulp decreased plasma levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and elevated levels of good cholesterol (HDL). Rats on a high-fat diet were given 5, 25, or 50 mg/kg of tamarind pulp extract orally for 10 weeks, and this had an anti-obesity effect. These rats lost body weight as a result of this investigation.

Additionally, this extract decreased fatty acid synthase activity (FAS). An enzyme called FAS aids in the development of adipose tissue in your body. It also stops free radicals from oxidizing lipids. The antioxidant abilities of this extract were also shown in the rat investigation. In rats with obesity-induced obesity, the extract may have positive benefits. To determine what other plant constituents contribute to this advantage, more research is required.
