Can a daily supplement help the body fight off HPV?
NCT ID NCT07697196
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a daily oral supplement containing green tea extract (EGCG), folic acid, vitamin B12, and hyaluronic acid can help women clear a persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV is a common virus that can cause cervical cancer if it stays in the body for a long time. The trial involves 42 women aged 25 and older who have had HPV for at least 9 months and have low-grade cervical changes. Half will take the supplement for six months, while the other half receive standard care. Researchers will measure whether the virus's activity in cells decreases, which could indicate the body is clearing the infection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pervistop (epigallocatechin gallate, folic acid, vitamin B12, hyaluronic acid)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this supplement could offer a simple, non-invasive way to help the body clear persistent HPV and reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Dietary supplements are not regulated as strictly as drugs, and the effect may be modest or absent.
