Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to understand the impacts of regular consumption of freeze-dried table grape powder on eye health and regulation of advanced glycation end products in Singapore older adults. The investigators hypothesize that regular consumption of freeze-dried table grape powder will promote improvements in eye health and lower levels of advanced glycation end products when compared to the placebo group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will be a 16-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial using a parallel study design. 46 adults (aged 60 - 85) will be recruited and randomly assigned to the intervention or placebo group to investigate whether regular consumption of freeze-dried table grape powder (46g/d) can improve eye health parameters, blood/skin AGE and glycemic status, and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. This study will consist of 1 screening visit and 5 study visits with 4-week intervals.
