Chrysanthemum

What human studies say about chrysanthemum

• Postprandial lipids and antioxidants · Randomized controlled trial, 37 participants · 2023
  Compared with the high-fat meal alone, the extract group had lower postprandial glucose at 1 hour and higher antioxidant markers (T-AOC, SOD, GSH), with lower MDA. Incremental area under the curve did not differ significantly between groups. Limitation: Small sample of healthy young adults given a single high-fat meal, so longer-term effects and effects in people with metabolic conditions are unknown. PubMed 36677639
• Knee osteoarthritis symptoms · Randomized controlled trial, 121 participants · 2021
  Compared with placebo, the extract group had better overall K-WOMAC score (P = .042) and physical function score (P = .015). Pain on the visual analog scale was also lower at 6 and 12 weeks. No adverse reactions were reported. Limitation: Only participants with mild osteoarthritis were studied, and the product is a concentrated extract of one chrysanthemum species, so results may not apply to chrysanthemum tea or food.
