While bananas themselves might not directly reduce melanin levels, studies have shown that extracts from banana stems and flowers have a significant impact on melanin content.
- In a study published in PMC, researchers found that cells exposed to higher concentrations of banana stem and flower extracts demonstrated a significant reduction in melanin content. The flower extract was particularly effective in reducing melanin.
However, it's important to note that these studies focused on specific extracts from banana stems and flowers and not on consuming whole bananas.
Furthermore, while bananas are rich in nutrients like vitamins A and B, there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that consuming whole bananas directly reduces melanin levels.
