Brief Summary

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

The effects of a 10g/day collagen hydrolysate for a period of 4 weeks on glycemic control and cardiovascular health in a parallel design study using overweight/ obese men and women who are likely to have a disturbed lipid and glucose metabolism and increased risk to develop cardiovascular disease and/or Type- 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

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

Food-derived bioactive peptides represent a source of health-enhancing components that have been reported to have cardiovascular health benefits in humans and may be incorporated in functional foods. Up till now studies using collagen hydrolysates particularly addressed issues around joint health, however, there are some preliminary indications that other health-related targets might be affected as well. We here propose to focus on the potential effects of collagen hydrolysates on glycemic control, and characteristics of the microcirculation, both important parameters for the assessment of future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

A 4-weeks randomized, controlled trial with a parallel design. Before the 4-weeks intervention, there is a 2-weeks run period.
Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Investigators
The subjects will follow one of the two experimental conditions. The decision in which condition they will be placed is based upon a computer-generated table with random numbers. For this, a categorical list in logical order will be created by an independent person before the start of the study. After being found eligible to start the study, the subject gets the following study number that is on the list. Basically, this entire randomization process is blinded and follows the concealed allocation procedures. During this process, it will safeguard that there are equal group sizes and an equal number of men and women in both groups (range 40/60% or 60/40% is accepted).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Collagen hydrolysate

30 subjects will consume the protein hydrolysate daily for 4 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

10 g of collagen hydrolysate

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Before breakfast, participants consume 1 sachet every day for 4 weeks. The sachet contains 10-gram collagen protein hydrolysates + 5-gram erythritol and it has to be dissolved in 250 ml of water.

Placebo

30 subjects will consume the placebo daily for 4 weeks

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Before breakfast, participants consume 1 sachet every day for 4 weeks. The sachet contains 5-gram erythritol (placebo) and has to be dissolved in 250 ml of water.
