Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
In Mexico, according to data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT) 2018-2019, the prevalence of overweight in adults is 39.1% (36.6% in women, 42.5% in men), of obesity is 36.1% (40.2% in women, 30.5% in men) and of abdominal adiposity 81.6% (88.4% in women and 72.1% in men), with a higher proportion found in the north of the country.
In 2010, it was estimated that obesity was the main cause of 3.4 million deaths, the main complications being cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and various types of cancer.
The complications of obesity are very varied, mainly presenting changes in the metabolic profile, such as increased blood pressure and abdominal circumference, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. Another of the main complications derived from obesity is insulin resistance, which is defined as a decreased biological response of peripheral tissues to a specific concentration of insulin with consequent compensatory hyperinsulinemia.
The treatment of obesity is based on lifestyle changes (diet and exercise), in addition, there are pharmacological and surgical treatments, however, they are not applicable to the entire population, so despite being a highly prevalent disease with major complications, current therapeutic options are insufficient.
Triticum aestivum, better known as wheat grass, is a very common fiber in the diet of the world population, including the Mexican population, in which multiple pre-clinical studies have been reported where the effect of triticum aestivum on the decrease of components of the metabolic profile, such as glycemia, cholesterol, triglycerides and weight, as well as an improvement in insulin sensitivity, has been evidenced; To date, no serious adverse effects related to its consumption have been described, and it can be considered as an effective therapeutic alternative for patients with obesity.

RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
36 patients:
1. 18 patients with 500 mg of triticum aestivum orally every 12 hours for 120 days.
2. 18 patients with 500 mg of placebo orally every 12 hours for 120 days.
* Visit 1/ Day -7: Screening period, information about the study, signing of informed consent, medical history, anthropometric measurements, baseline laboratory tests.
* Visit 2/Day 0: Randomization, 60 tablets of Triticum aestivum or placebo will be given, general diet and exercise recommendations.
* Visit 3,4,5/Day 30,60,90: Treatment adherence evaluation, laboratory tests, adverse events evaluation, general diet and exercise recommendations and 60 tablets of Triticum aestivum or placebo will be given.
* Visit 6 /Final/Day 120 ± 7: Anthropometric measurements will be taken, laboratory tests will be performed, adherence to treatment and adverse events will be evaluated.
TREATMENT
DOUBLE
The total number of envelopes required to complete the minimum number of participants will have numerical codes that identify the bottle of intervention treatment that should receive the participant during the intervention period.
They will be divided into half blinded codes for triticum aestivum group and half for placebo to complete the size of each subsample. Chance guarantees blinding, neither the participant nor the researcher will know the type of treatment. The database for the blinded statistical analysis will be completed. The blind man will be removed once the statistical analysis has been completed.
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
