Abstract in brief

This study investigated how different doses of the rare, zero-calorie sugar dallulose affect fat loss in overweight and obese adults, finding that higher doses significantly reduced body fat and abdominal fat without impacting nutrient intake or key health markers.
The research involved 121 Korean adults aged 20-40 years who were divided into groups taking a placebo, low dose, or high dose of dallulose, with assessments including body composition scans and blood tests.
The results suggest that dallulose may help reduce body fat in a dose-dependent manner, but further validation with more precise methods like dual-energy X-ray absorption is recommended.]
