NCT ID NCT06871384

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether drinking non-alcoholic red wine, which is rich in natural compounds called polyphenols, can help older adults keep their thinking sharp and muscles strong. Researchers will give 72 people aged 60-74 either non-alcoholic red wine or water, both as part of a Mediterranean diet, and track changes in memory, grip strength, and gut health over time.
