Green tea, B12, and folic acid: a new weapon against HPV?

NCT ID NCT06285357

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study is testing whether a daily supplement containing green tea extract (EGCG), folic acid, and vitamin B12 can help women clear a persistent high-risk HPV infection in the cervix. About 100 women with a positive HPV test but no serious cell changes will take the supplement for several months. The goal is to see if the supplement increases the chance of the body clearing the virus naturally.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
EGCG (green tea extract), folic acid, and vitamin B12
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-invasive way to help the body clear high-risk HPV infections and reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a very early pilot study with only 100 participants, so results may not be conclusive. Dietary supplements are not a proven treatment for HPV, and the effect may be small or absent.
