Ilechie AA, Jeduah MM, Abraham CH, et al. - In this randomized, single‐blind, placebo‐controlled, cross‐over design, researchers evaluated the impact of oral ingestion of Garcinia kola (bitter kola) on intraocular pressure (IOP). Forty‐six healthy individuals (aged 19 to 27 years) have been recruited and randomized into two groups (A and B). Participants in group A consumed 100 mg/kg body weight bitter kola in a 200 ml solution on their first visit and group B consumed 200 ml of water. The order of treatment was reversed on the second visit, IOP was assessed at baseline and every 45 min interval for 135 min. According to findings, oral intake of G. kola reduced the intraocular pressure of healthy young adults by 21%. Such an effect can be of clinical value to patients with POAG or ocular hypertension in low‐income settings.
