Grape and olive supplement shows promise against arthritis inflammation
NCT ID NCT02566798
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a supplement made from grape and olive extracts (Oléogrape®SEED) can reduce inflammation in people with knee osteoarthritis. Twelve patients took the supplement or a placebo for 7 days. Researchers then measured anti-inflammatory effects in blood and joint fluid samples. The goal is to find a natural way to manage osteoarthritis inflammation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- grape and olive extract (Oléogrape®SEED)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement that eases inflammation in osteoarthritis, potentially reducing pain and slowing joint damage.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study with only 12 people, lasting just 7 days. It measures lab markers, not actual symptom relief, so results may not translate to real-world benefits.
