Grape extract and exercise: a natural combo for blood pressure?

NCT ID NCT06985407

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether taking grape extract, a supplement rich in polyphenols, could improve blood pressure and blood vessel function after exercise in people with slightly high blood pressure (prehypertension). Ten sedentary adults took either grape extract or a placebo for a week, then switched after a break. Researchers measured blood pressure and artery function right after exercise and over 24 hours. The goal was to see if the combination works better than exercise alone.
