The Claim
Red wine grape pomace supplementation significantly reduced colonic inflammation and fibrosis, reversed colon shortening from 6.75 cm to 9.65 cm, and improved histopathological scores in SR-B1−/−ApoE-R61h/h mice with diet-induced ischemic heart disease, independent of statin effects.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In mice with a specific genetic mutation and diet-induced heart disease, supplementation with red wine grape pomace reduced inflammation and scarring in the colon, increased colon length from 6.75 cm to 9.65 cm, and improved tissue damage scores, without involvement of statin medications.

Undigested parts of red wine grape pomace reach the colon, where gut bacteria break them down into compounds that strengthen the gut lining. This prevents harmful substances from leaking into the bloodstream, which lowers inflammation in the colon and stops it from shrinking and scarring.
What the research says
1 studyMice with heart disease that ate a leftover part of red wine grapes had healthier, less inflamed guts than those that didn’t, even without heart meds like statins. Their colon looked less damaged, which means the grape waste helped their gut.
