Summary

This small pilot study looked at how well blueberry flavonoids are absorbed and whether they can lower inflammation in older adults (65+) who have mild depressive symptoms. Six participants took either a standard or higher dose of blueberry powder, and researchers measured changes in urine and blood markers. The study was completed but very small, so results are preliminary and not conclusive.
