Effects of Goji vs. Fiber on Macular Degeneration (NCT06237127)
Effects of Goji Berry Intake on Risk of Age-related Macular Degeneration: A Randomized Clinical Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this project is to conduct a clinical trial in 60 participants ranging from age 65-95 who are at risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study will evaluate the effects of 14g of goji berry intake or an equivalent amount and type of fiber, five days a week for six months, on visual health, gut microbiome profiles, skin carotenoid measures, and lipoprotein profiles.
