Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of berry juices containing different levels of polyphenols on blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors.

The study is a 12 week double blinded randomized controlled intervention trial. The subjects will be divided in three groups where one receives a placebo juice while the two other will consume 0.5 liter of juice containing different levels of polyphenols. Blood pressure will be monitored and blood samples will be taken.

Control

12 weeks intake of 0.5 liter/day placebo juice containing sugar, aromas and salt corresponding to the berry juices in the other groups.

Blood pressure will be taken at time point 0,6 and 12 weeks. Blood and urine samples will be collected and weight and bioelectric impedance will be monitored at time point 0 and 12 weeks.
