Grape pomace from chardonnay for heart and gut health in postmenopausal women
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if consuming a powder made from chardonnay grape pomace (the leftover skins and seeds from winemaking) can improve gut and heart health in postmenopausal women. You may be a good fit if you are between 45-70, have gone through menopause, and have higher levels of blood fats called triglycerides.
