Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated diseases combined are the leading health burden and cause of mortality worldwide; therefore, the necessity for an intervention is paramount. Dietary interventions to improve cardiometabolic health are highly sought after as they possess less risk than pharmacological drugs. Anthocyanins, found in high quantities in both tart cherries and blueberries are powerful antioxidants, that are potentially capable of improving cardiometabolic dysfunction. However, to date, no research has explored the cardiometabolic responses to tart cherry and blueberry supplementation.

Therefore, the primary purpose of the proposed investigation is to test the ability of oral tart cherry and blueberry supplementation to improve cardiometabolic parameters in healthy individuals.
