Study Summary

This trial will study the effects of dealcoholized muscadine wine on oxidative stress, inflammation, skin photoaging, and the gut microbiome in women.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy women aged 40-67 with a BMI of 20.0-29.9 and Fitzpatrick skin types 2 or 3. It's not suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, smoke, consume alcohol, have a history of skin cancer, use certain medications that could affect the study results, sunbathe frequently or use tanning beds, or take vitamin/mineral supplements.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial is testing if drinking dealcoholized muscadine wine daily for six weeks can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body, improve skin health against aging from sunlight exposure (photoaging), and positively change gut bacteria compared to a control group drinking sugar water.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves dealcoholized wine which is non-alcoholic and similar to grape juice in composition; side effects might be minimal but could include digestive changes due to alterations in gut microbiome.
