Description
Ana P. Barba-de la Rosa and coauthors report a 2026 trial of amaranth protein in children with excess weight. Pupils aged eight to ten were grouped by body mass as normal weight, overweight, or with obesity. Each child received the protein supplement daily for ninety days, with blood and stool tests before and after.
Blood sugar stayed steady across groups during the trial. Cholesterol and triglyceride levels tended to move downward. Gut microbe patterns differed by weight group at the start. Supplement use tended to raise several microbe genera linked to fat handling. Results suggest a food protein may support lipid control in children, pending stronger controlled trials.
