NCT ID NCT06509750

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether adding carob to a Western-style breakfast can help regulate hunger hormones and appetite. Twenty healthy, normal-weight men ate a carob-enriched meal, and researchers measured changes in ghrelin (a hunger hormone) and self-reported fullness. The goal was to see if carob's high fiber and polyphenol content could improve satiety and metabolic health, offering a sustainable dietary option for obesity management.
