Summary

This study tests whether eating a date bar enriched with magnesium, vitamin C, and grape seed extract every day for 4 weeks can reduce stress and cortisol levels in healthy young women. Thirty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the active bar or a placebo bar. The main outcomes are changes in morning salivary cortisol and perceived stress scores.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: date bar enriched with magnesium, vitamin C, and grape seed extract
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary snack to help manage everyday stress.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early trial with only 30 healthy women, so results may not apply to others. The effect may be small or no different from a placebo bar.
