Superberry showdown: aronia powder tested against COPD inflammation
NCT ID NCT06702696
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether eating freeze-dried aronia (black chokeberry) powder every day for 8 weeks can lower inflammation and improve breathing in people with COPD. Fifty participants aged 50-80 will be randomly assigned to take either the aronia powder or a placebo. Researchers will measure blood markers of inflammation and lung function before and after the trial.
