Dietary Prevention of Photodamage in Skin With Grapes: A Human Clinical Study

To assess the effect of orally administered grape powder on the sunburn reaction in humans.

To determine whether oral grape powder will result in a reduction in biomarkers associated
with basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Biomarkers taken from
non-sun-exposed skin and UV-exposed skin before and after treatment will be compared.

The ultimate goal of this study will be to generate new knowledge of the photoprotective
effect of grape powder on UV exposure. The results may be employed as the basis for a larger
clinical trial to evaluate the potential of grapes to prevent non-melanoma skin cancers
(NMSCs) and sun damage.
