NCT ID NCT04094103
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether drinking a strawberry beverage every day for four weeks could improve cholesterol, blood sugar, and other heart health markers in overweight or obese adults. Forty-eight participants with borderline-high cholesterol and normal to slightly elevated blood pressure were randomly assigned to receive either active strawberry powder, a placebo, or a mix. The goal was to see if strawberries could help reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
What this could mean

Active substance
strawberry powder
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary addition to help manage cholesterol and blood sugar in overweight individuals.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It tested a supplement, not whole strawberries, and benefits may be modest.
