Fat Metabolism Reset

Fat Metabolism Reset

Morel mushroom (Morchella esculenta) extract inhibited fat-digesting enzymes and delivered 38 identified bioactive compounds. In obese zebrafish, supplementation reduced body weight, BMI, blood glucose, triglycerides, LDL, and VLDL while increasing HDL and shrinking fat cell size . These changes improve fat processing, blood sugar control, and overall metabolic health.
