First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether apple fruit extract, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, could improve symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Forty adults with persistent allergies received either standard treatment plus apple extract or standard treatment alone. Researchers measured nasal symptoms and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress to see if the extract provided additional relief.
