WASHINGTON: A new study revealed that an extract made up of “Thunder God” plant could help with weight loss. The plant is commonly used in Chinese medicines.
The researchers found that fat mice that were given high doses of the extract for one week, ate 80 percent less food as compared with mice that did not receive the compound. After three weeks the mice treated with the compound lost 45 percent of their body weight, while mice in the comparison group did not lose any weight.
