Collagen-infused chocolate bars may aid modest weight loss, UCLA study finds
A recent study has found that a collagen-enriched chocolate bar may help with weight loss. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) tested the approach on overweight and obese adults over three months. The results suggest collagen could be a simple and safe way to support weight management.
The study, published in the journal Nutrients, involved 64 participants. Half received a chocolate bar containing collagen, while the other half got a placebo. After three months, those in the collagen group lost an average of 3 kilograms, compared to 2 kilograms in the control group.
The findings point to collagen as a promising tool for weight management. While the differences were modest, the study suggests it could complement other lifestyle changes. Further research may explore its long-term effects and broader applications.
