The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Sacha Inchi-CoQ10 supplementation can improve cardiovascular health in adults who have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The study will also learn about the safety and tolerability of Sacha Inchi-CoQ10 supplementation.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does Sacha Inchi-CoQ10 supplementation improve cardiovascular function compared with placebo? Does Sacha Inchi-CoQ10 supplementation improve blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, inflammation, and oxidative stress? Is Sacha Inchi-CoQ10 supplementation safe and well tolerated?
Researchers will compare Sacha Inchi-CoQ10 supplementation with a placebo (a look-alike supplement that does not contain Sacha Inchi-CoQ10) to see whether the supplementation improves cardiovascular health.
Participants will:
Take Sacha Inchi-CoQ10 supplementation or placebo for 12 weeks Visit the study clinic for screening, baseline, week 6, and week 12 assessments Have cardiovascular assessments, including echocardiography and blood pressure measurements Provide blood samples to assess cholesterol, blood sugar, inflammation, and oxidative stress Have their weight, body composition, and other health measurements assessed Complete questionnaires about their diet, physical activity, and quality of life Record their supplement intake and any symptoms or side effects during the study
