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

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether quercetin, a dietary supplement found in many fruits and vegetables, can improve the function of tiny blood vessels in young adults with obesity. Forty participants will take either quercetin or a placebo daily for 30 days. Researchers will measure blood vessel dilation and density using a camera under the tongue and laser probes on the forearm.
