Conditions

High Blood Pressure, Overweight and Obesity

Brief summary

randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, with two parallel branches whose objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the product investigated on blood pressure and fat mass of subjects without pharmacotherapy.

Detailed description

The subjects that meet the selection criteria will make a total of five visits to the research laboratory and will carry out the pre-established tests in the protocol. Subsequently, a statistical analysis will be carried out with the variables measured in the study to obtain results.

Interventions

Consumption of the product under study for 84 days, plecebo or experimental product

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
blood samples: Glucidal metabolism and lipid metabolism.Time Frame: Blood samples will be taken twice, once at baseline, at the beginning of the trial and once at the end after 84 days of use.BASIC GLUCEMIA, TOTAL CHOLESTEROL, HDL CHOLESTEROL, LDL , CHOLESTEROL, TRIGLICERIDS, GLICATED HEMOGLOBIN. It was measured in milligrams per deciliter
Subjective sensation of product consumptionTime Frame: Subjects will complete the hedonic scale four times. at 14, 28, 56 and 84 days of consumption of the product under study.5-point hedonic scale. There are five points, being 1 I do not like and 5 I like it a lot. A scale will be passed through paper.
physical activityTime Frame: An accelerometer will be placed twice on the subjects. The first time at baseline and the second after taking 84 days of consumption of the product under studyMEASURED WITH ACTIGRAPH wGT3X-BT
Fat massTime Frame: A record of body composition will be made five times during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, at 14 days, 28, 56 and 84 days. For this we will use a TANITA.Bioimpedancetry, in grams.
WeightTime Frame: A record of body composition will be made five times during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, at 14 days, 28, 56 and 84 days. For these determinations we will use a scale (SECA).measured in Kg.
HeightTime Frame: A record of body composition will be made five times during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, at 14 days, 28, 56 and 84 days. For these determinations we will use a scale (SECA).Measured in cm.
liver safety variablesHematological samples were taken before (day 0) and after consumption of the product (day 84) both in the control group and in the experimental group.It is a blood test that measures the presence of some enzymes, proteins and bilirubin in the blood, with the aim of determining if there is any alteration in the liver. Enzyme GPT, GOT, Gamma GT, LDH, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin (UI/L)
Muscle massTime Frame: A record of body composition will be made five times during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, at 14 days, 28, 56 and 84 days. For this we will use a TANITA.Bioimpedancetry, in grams.
Percentage of fat massTime Frame: A record of body composition will be made five times during the 84 days of consumption. Measures will be taken at baseline, at 14 days, 28, 56 and 84 days. For this we will use a TANITA.Bioimpedancetry.
