Description
Giulia Marrone and co-authors ran a pilot study in 2024 on plant-based snack bars for older patients with chronic kidney disease. Such patients age faster than their peers, with more inflammation and muscle loss. The bars were enriched with by-products from wine and olive oil making, plus saffron. Twenty-nine patients took part for twelve weeks; most ate the bars while a small group did not.
By the end, the bar group showed better body makeup on scans. Their thinking test scores also improved. A blood test showed less oxidative stress, a form of cell damage. The authors read the bars as a helpful add-on, though the trial was small. Larger studies would be needed to confirm the gains.
