Green tea's effect on blood thickness in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether drinking green tea can lower blood thickness (viscosity) in adults 65 and older. It may help reduce heart and circulation risks by making blood flow more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 65 years old or older
- You are a non-smoker
