“Chlorella supplementation demonstrated statistically significant reductions in BF% (WMD = −0.73%; 95% CI: −1.18 to −0.29; p = 0.001; I² = 28.9%; p = 0.179), BMI (WMD = −0.30 kg/m2; 95% CI: −0.48 to −0.13; p = 0.001; I² = 21.3%; p = 0.186), weight (WMD = −1.28 kg; 95% CI: −2.00 to −0.56; p < 0.001; I² = 20.6%; p = 0.173), and WHR (WMD = −0.01%; 95% CI: −0.02 to −0.01; p < 0.001; I² = 0.0%; p = 0.859).”
