In this study, researchers from the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico prepared, characterized and analyzed the effects of a nutraceutical made using cacao byproducts on altered cardiometabolic risk markers. Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that cacao byproducts can be used to make nutraceuticals that improve metabolic function in obese subjects without causing adverse effects.
