First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether eating freeze-dried grape powder every day for 4 weeks can improve gut bacteria, reduce inflammation, and lower stress in adults with obesity. Fifty participants aged 30-45 will be randomly assigned to receive grape powder or a placebo, then switch after a break. Researchers will measure changes in gut microbes, immune markers, and body composition.
