Study Summary

This trial is testing whether blueberries can help improve brain function by increasing antioxidants and blood flow to the brain.

Who is the study for?
This study is for older adults who are cognitively normal, have a BMI between 18.5-35, speak and read English well, are in good health without serious diseases, and eat very few berries. It's not for pregnant individuals or those with blueberry allergies, major head trauma history, life-threatening illnesses, recent severe psychiatric disorders including depression or anxiety, diabetes, metabolic syndrome or uncontrolled high blood pressure.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether eating more blueberries can boost brain antioxidants (specifically glutathione) and improve blood flow to the brain in older adults. Participants will be divided into two groups: one that receives an increased amount of blueberries (intervention) and another that does not receive this increase (control).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves consuming blueberries which are generally safe to eat; side effects may be minimal but could include potential allergic reactions or digestive discomfort for some individuals.
