  • Active Comparator: Fruit Bar
    The fruit powder is incorporated into a snack bar, which delivers \~120 mg of anthocyanins.
  • Active Comparator: Powdered Drink
    The fruit powder is incorporated into a powdered drink, which delivers \~120 mg of anthocyanins..
  • Placebo Comparator: Control Beverage
    A control powdered drink will be formulated with similar organoleptic qualities to the TCP-containing powdered drink without containing any polyphenol-rich ingredients.
