Brief Summary

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

Introduction: This project studies the impact of Ilex paraguariensis harvest time, commonly known as yerba mate, and its consumption mode (mate, tereré, and mate/terere) on the lipid profile of consumers in the Department of Caaguazú, Paraguay. Yerba mate is rich in bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, xanthines, and saponins. There are no clinical trials conducted in Paraguay with our Ilex paraguariensis plantations that have analyzed the influence of harvest time on the yerba mate production process and the infusion mode, in relation to its effect on dyslipidemias. General Objective: To establish the effectiveness of Ilex paraguariensis harvest time and the mode of consumption of the produced yerba mate on the lipid profile of consumers in the Department of Caaguazú, Paraguay. Methodology: The research approach will be quantitative, using a triple-blind randomized clinical trial design. Participants will be regular consumers of yerba mate, divided into groups based on harvest time (beginning or end of the harvest) and consumption mode (mate, tereré, or both). Lipid profile measurements will be taken at baseline and at 30, 90, and 180 days after consumption. Yerba mate samples will be analyzed and classified according to their bioactive properties before being blinded to the researchers and participants. Expected results: a report on the social, cultural, and anthropometric characterization of regular consumers of mate and tereré, and a report on the concentrations of the bioactive properties of yerba mate; polyphenols, xanthines, saponins from Ilex paraguariensis harvested at the beginning and end of the harvest and the database of patients with baseline lipid profile results, at 30, 90, and 180 days of mate and tereré consumers with yerba mate prepared randomly according to the harvest time of the Ip (beginning or end of harvest) analyzed.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

First, they will be divided into two groups: YMA (Yerba harvested at the beginning of the safra) and YMB (Yerba harvested at the end of the safra). Both groups are then divided into three strata: consumption of mate only, consumption of terere only, consumption of both mate and terere.
