Caraway for Weight Loss in Women
A 2013 study found that 30ml per day of caraway extract significantly reduced weight (mean 76.86kg to 75.0kg vs mean 71.96kg to 72.77kg) in overweight and obese women compared to placebo over 90 days. Caraway is thought to enhance the breakdown of fat cells and improve the gut microflora. Caraway may cause digestive or other side effects.
