Summary

This trial aims to see if freeze-dried wild blueberry powder can help improve heart and metabolic health, thinking ability, and the balance of bacteria in the gut of women with prediabetes.

What is being tested?
The study is testing whether a freeze-dried wild blueberry powder can improve heart health, brain function, and the balance of bacteria in the gut compared to a placebo (a substance with no therapeutic effect).
