NCT ID NCT05972694
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a daily dose of grape powder (46 grams) could improve gut bacteria and reduce inflammation in adults with Crohn's disease who were in remission. Twenty-one participants took the grape powder and provided stool and blood samples. The goal was to see if grapes could help control the disease and reduce inflammation markers.
