NCT ID NCT04809688
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether eating Saskatoon berries can improve how the body handles sugar and cholesterol, and how it affects gut bacteria. Twenty healthy adults will eat freeze-dried Saskatoon berry powder every day for 10 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in blood sugar, cholesterol, and gut microbes to see if this berry could help prevent type 2 diabetes.
