Methods: This eight-week interventional study examined whether regular consumption of two natural bilberry products could improve body composition and lipid profiles in overweight\/obese women. A total of 30 participants (aged 50\u201360 years) were assigned to consume either 125 mL\/day of 100% bilberry juice or 10 g\/day of 100% bilberry fibre, while maintaining their habitual diets and lifestyles. Results: Although no significant changes were found in anthropometric parameters or blood pressure in either group, both interventions reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Surprisingly, total cholesterol (TC) levels rose in the bilberry juice group (from 6.41 \u00b1 1.23 mmol\/L to 6.94 \u00b1 1.30 mmol\/L (p &lt; 0.001)), and in the fibre group (from 6.06 \u00b1 1.39 mmol\/L to 6.43 \u00b1 1.05 mmol\/L (p = 0.046)), likely due to elevated HDL-C (p &lt; 0.001) overshadowing the drop in LDL-C (p &lt; 0.05). Triglyceride (TG) levels did not change significantly and were still within the reference range. Conclusions: Notably, the bilberry juice group experienced a significant reduction in atherogenic small dense LDL (sdLDL) subfractions, suggesting a favourable shift in cardiovascular risk factors. These findings highlight the potential of bilberry-based products as a supportive strategy for improving lipid profiles in overweight\/obese women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/metabo15040218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,24]],"date-time":"2025-03-24T07:46:50Z","timestamp":1742802410000},"page":"218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Short-Term Supplementation with 100% Bilberry Products and Its Effects on Body Composition and Lipid Profile in Overweight\/Obese Women"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1721-7161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Habanova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Institute of Nutritional and Genomics, Slovak University of Agriculture, 94976 Nitra, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maros","family":"Bihari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Institute of Nutritional and Genomics, Slovak University of Agriculture, 94976 Nitra, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2327-7470","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Radek","family":"Latal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Institute of Nutritional and Genomics, Slovak University of Agriculture, 94976 Nitra, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8275-7311","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martina","family":"Ga\u017earova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Institute of Nutritional and Genomics, Slovak University of Agriculture, 94976 Nitra, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2899-7191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Petra","family":"Len\u00e1rtov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Institute of Nutritional and Genomics, Slovak University of Agriculture, 94976 Nitra, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-6575-2462","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jana","family":"Pastrnakova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Institute of Nutritional and Genomics, Slovak University of Agriculture, 94976 Nitra, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4933-9016","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jadwiga","family":"Hamulka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Nutrition, Institute of Human Nutrition Sciences, Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW-WULS), 02-787 Warszawa, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WHO (2025, January 10).
