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.
