First seen Jan 13, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests whether MitoQ, a supplement that protects cell powerhouses (mitochondria), can help people with moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) flares. About 79 adults with active UC will take either MitoQ or a placebo daily for 24 weeks, alongside standard steroid treatment. The goal is to see if MitoQ improves symptoms and gut healing better than placebo alone.
