Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) has been investigated for its potential effects on lipid metabolism, including triglyceride levels. Several small clinical studies and animal experiments suggest that black chokeberry extracts or juice may help lower triglyceride levels in individuals with metabolic syndrome or cardiovascular risk factors. The proposed mechanisms involve the high content of polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins and flavonoids, which possess antioxidant properties and may improve lipid profiles by reducing oxidative stress and modulating enzyme activities involved in lipid metabolism.

For example, a randomized controlled trial published in the journal European Journal of Nutrition (2007) involving patients with metabolic syndrome found that supplementation with chokeberry extract for two months resulted in a significant reduction in triglyceride levels compared to baseline. Other studies in both humans and animals have reported similar findings, though not all results are consistent and most studies had small sample sizes and relatively short durations.

Overall, the evidence is limited but suggests a possible benefit of black chokeberry for lowering high triglycerides. However, more robust, large-scale clinical trials are needed to confirm these effects and to better understand the optimal dose and long-term safety. As such, the evidence rating is moderate-to-low (2 out of 5), indicating preliminary scientific support but not yet strong or conclusive evidence.
