NCT ID NCT01439659
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether adding Juice Plus+ supplements to the diet helps ovarian cancer patients who are in remission. About 75 participants will either take the supplements plus get dietary counseling, or receive counseling alone. Researchers will measure changes in blood markers of oxidative stress and nutrient levels over six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Juice Plus+ and Juice Plus+ Complete (dietary supplements)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could suggest that adding these supplements to a healthy diet helps reduce oxidative stress and improve nutrient levels in ovarian cancer survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study (75 people) looking at blood markers, not survival or recurrence. The supplements are not a proven treatment and may not provide any benefit over counseling alone.
