Preliminary research on the fruit of Dichrostachys glomerata suggests it may support weight loss and wellness outcomes. In a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 56 overweight and mildly obese adults (average BMI of 31.66) were administered either 300 mg/day of D. glomerata (DYG-400®) or a placebo for 60 days. Results showed that the D. glomerata group lost significantly more weight (4.11 lbs vs. 2.19 lbs, p = .05) and experienced greater reductions in food cravings and perceived stress, with improvements in mood and health-related quality of life compared to the placebo group. These findings indicate that DYG-400® may be a valuable herbal option for weight management.
