Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study is to look at the effect a dietary supplement called CEAG \[Curcuminoids, EPA (Omega-3), Astaxanthin and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA)\] has on inflammation and endothelial (inner layer of the blood vessels) function and whether it causes a lowering of blood pressure.The endothelium plays in an important role in blood pressure.

Detailed Description

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

This clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of Curcuminoids, EPA (Omega-3), Astaxanthin and GLA for improving inflammation and endothelial reactivity over a four week intervention period in individuals with metabolic syndrome. The study also examines the effect of Curcuminoids, EPA (Omega-3), Astaxanthin and GLA administration on other markers of cardiovascular function and cardiovascular disease risk including Total, LDL and HDL-Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and a multitude of inflammatory markers.
