Sea buckthorn tea tested as weight loss aid for overweight women
NCT ID NCT07313423
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether drinking a cup of sea buckthorn tea every day for 12 weeks can help overweight women improve their body measurements, like weight, BMI, waist-hip ratio, and belly fat. Sixty women aged 18 to 50 with a BMI between 25 and 30 will be split into two groups: one drinks the tea, the other does not. The goal is to see if this simple, natural drink can make a difference in body composition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- sea buckthorn aqueous infusion (dietary supplement)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement to help manage weight and reduce visceral fat in overweight women.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The supplement may have no effect on body composition, and results may not apply to men or other populations.
