Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Grapes have a long history of use in various traditional medicine systems for promoting general health and well-being, but their specific use for the prevention or treatment of colds is primarily grounded in tradition rather than robust scientific evidence. In traditional remedies, grapes—particularly grape juice—are sometimes recommended for colds due to their pleasant taste, hydrating qualities, and vitamin content (notably vitamin C and antioxidants such as flavonoids and resveratrol). These compounds are believed in folk medicine to support immune health and provide symptomatic relief.

However, scientific studies directly evaluating grapes or grape extracts for the prevention or treatment of the common cold are lacking. While some studies have explored the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of grape polyphenols, there is no strong clinical evidence that these translate to a reduced incidence or severity of colds in humans. Most health benefits attributed to grapes are related to cardiovascular health or general antioxidant support rather than immune-specific effects.

In summary, the use of grapes for cold prevention is primarily based on traditional beliefs and general health promotion rather than direct scientific validation. Individuals may enjoy grapes as part of a healthy diet, but they should not rely on them as a primary strategy for preventing or treating colds.
