Brief Summary

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

Clinical trial about beneficial effects of natural ingredient containing chlorogenic acid and luteolin on liver health and conditions related to liver (such as metabolic syndrome) for general body health.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is one randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate and/or elucidate the role of the natural supplement, containing chlorogenic acid (10-12%) and luteinyl-7-glucoside (2-4%), on cardio-metabolic risk factors.

The research hypothesis is to evaluate whether natural supplement containing chlorogenic acid and luteolin (Puraltilix, BIONAP SRL, Catania, Italy) may improve several cardio-metabolic parameters in subjects with the metabolic syndrome.

All subjects will be evaluated at baseline and after 6 months of treatment (with natural supplement or placebo).
