Background and study aims
The aim of this study is to test whether a combination of food ingredients can decrease cardiovascular (heart disease) risk factors by reducing visceral adiposity (abdominal fat), hypercholesterolemia (high blood cholesterol) and endothelial (blood vessel) dysfunction. These ingredients are based on extracts rich in polyphenols and non-digestible fibers already known individually for their health benefits.
Who can participate?
Overweight people aged 18 and over
What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated to take either the study medication or a placebo (dummy) capsule twice a day, 2 capsules each time (4 capsules per day), for 3 months. Clinical data, blood samples and faeces samples are collected and the brachial artery is examined by ultrasound at the start of the study, at the end of the first, second and third months of treatment, and one month after the treatment has finished.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Treatment does not cause any adverse health effects. This study does not involve any risks apart from those related to a conventional blood collection procedure or possible gastrointestinal discomfort.
Where is the study run from?
CHU UCL Namur Godinne (Belgium)
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
May 2017 to May 2019
Who is funding the study?
Competitivity pole WAGRALIM (Public service of Wallonia region) (Belgium)

Placebo capsule composition: cellulose 500mg, silicium dioxide 18 mg, magnesium stearate 18 mg. Medication is administered per oral twice a day, 2 capsules each time (4 capsules per day). Duration of treatment: 3 months. Duration of the study - 4 months with 5 visits performed: V0 - at the beginning of the study, V1 - at the end of the first month of treatment, V2 - at the end of the second month of treatment, V3 - at the end of third (last) month of treatment, V4 - one month after the treatment has finished. |
