Summary
In plain language
Grape seed extract may help manage fatty liver disease in seniors.
This study explored how grape seed extract (GSE) might help people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a common liver condition where fat builds up in the liver. Researchers wanted to see if taking GSE could improve liver health and other related health factors. The study involved 50 participants divided into two groups; one took GSE supplements while the other received a placebo. The results suggested that GSE might positively influence liver health and other factors like blood sugar and cholesterol. This is important for seniors, as maintaining liver health can improve overall well-being and reduce the risk of further complications.
Details
Use the full description to understand the study design, methods, and the limits of the findings.
This was a double-blind study where neither the participants nor the researchers knew who was receiving the GSE or placebo. Participants took two tablets daily for two months. Key findings showed potential improvements in liver enzymes and other health markers, indicating GSE might support liver health.
The study was conducted with 50 participants divided into GSE and placebo groups.
Results showed improved liver enzymes and metabolic markers in the GSE group.
While findings are promising, more research is needed to confirm these results.
Seniors interested in GSE should discuss its use with their healthcare providers for personalized advice.
