Can a simple supplement help men fight HPV?
NCT ID NCT07344337
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a daily dietary supplement containing EGCG (from green tea), vitamin B12, hyaluronic acid, and folic acid can help men with HPV maintain genital health and possibly clear the virus. The trial will include 96 participants (48 couples) and compare those taking the supplement for 6 months to a control group receiving no supplement. The main goal is to see if the supplement helps men test negative for HPV during the study.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dietary supplement containing EGCG, vitamin B12, hyaluronic acid, and folic acid
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this supplement could help men clear HPV from their genital tract and reduce the risk of passing the virus to their partner.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early pilot study with only 96 participants. The supplement may not work better than no treatment, and results may not apply to everyone.
