These thylakoid structures could be isolated from the leaves of any green plant, since they are not exclusively present in spinach. The composition of thylakoids looks like this 30% fat and 70% protein, chlorophyll and antioxidants.

Spinach extract benefits
Weight Loss
Animal studies have shown that taking thylakoid-rich spinach extract may reduce body fat and weight. Human studies of overweight adults have shown that adding 3.7 to 5 grams to a meal reduces appetite for several hours. By suppressing appetite, it may lead to weight loss, if taken regularly over a few months.
One study of overweight women found that eating 5 grams every day, during a 3-month weight loss program, resulted in 43% greater weight loss, compared to a placebo. Body mass index, fat mass and lean mass decreased as well during the study, but there were no significant differences across groups.
Fight Cravings
It may suppress the brain’s food reward system, reducing cravings, when overweight women consumed 5 grams of spinach extract per day, cravings for sweets decreased by 95%, cravings for chocolate decreased by 87%.
Another study in women suggests that 5 grams of spinach extract reduces cravings for snack foods, including those that are salty, sweet and fatty. However, there were no effects on calorie intake at a later buffet. The reduction in cravings may be because spinach extract promotes the release of glucagon-like peptide-1, which acts on the food reward system.
Side Effects
No side effects or safety issues have been noted with the use of spinach extract; temporary reductions in insulin levels and increases in blood sugar levels are the only significant changes in biomarkers recorded during the study mentioned above.
Long-term effects on blood sugar readings appear not to be an issue, but further studies would be needed to determine the safety for type 2 diabetes patients considering the use spinach extract for weight control.
