Two-Month Consumption of Orange Juice Enriched with Vitamin D3 and Probiotics Decreases Body Weight, Insulin Resistance, Blood Lipids, and Arterial Blood Pressure in High-Cardiometabolic-Risk Patients on a Westernized Type Diet: Results from a Randomized Clinical Trial

Two-Month Consumption of Orange Juice Enriched with Vitamin D3 and Probiotics: Clinical Trial Results

Key Findings:

Consuming orange juice enriched with vitamin D3 and probiotics for 8 weeks led to significant improvements in metabolic and inflammatory markers, blood pressure, and body weight in high-cardiometabolic-risk patients following a Westernized diet.

Practical Solutions and Value:

The enriched orange juice resulted in weight loss, reduced energy and macronutrient consumption, improved lipid profiles, and increased insulin sensitivity, indicating potential benefits for cardiometabolic risk in individuals following a Westernized diet.
