Systematic review discussing the potential of camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) as a natural product to manage inflammation and contribute to overall health. Emphasizes the need to raise awareness of camu camu's evidentiary base and formulations.
Camu-camu decreases hepatic steatosis and liver injury markers in overweight, hypertriglyceridemic individuals: A randomized crossover trial.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial on 30 overweight, hypertriglyceridemic adults found that camu-camu supplementation decreased liver fat by 7.43% compared to an 8.42% increase with placebo. Camu-camu also reduced plasma aspartate and alanine aminotransferases levels and altered gut microbiota composition, suggesting potential benefits for reducing liver fat and NAFLD risk.
