It consists in the intake, during a period of 10 weeks, of a nutraceutical (natural extract of Sclerocarya birrea). It is a clinical trial, during which certain parameters of the glucidic metabolism will be measured analytically. Other secondary variables such as lipid profile, inflammatory markers, blood pressure, endothelial function and body composition will also be determined.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. endothelial function

    Changes in the dilatation of the Humeral artery.

    Measured: The measurements of endothelial function are taken with an ultrasound on two different occasions. The measurements will be made at baseline and after ten weeks of product consumption. Up to 10 weeks

  2. blood samples

    Changes in glycemic profile

    Measured: It is performed in the laboratory with the ILAB 600 analyzer. Blood samples are analyzed on two different occasions. The measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of consumption of the product. Up to 10 weeks

  3. Physical activity test

    Change in physical activity with the World Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ)

    Measured: Quality of life measurements are taken with physical activity test on two different occasions. The measurements are made at the beginning and after ten weeks of consumption of the product. Up to 10 weeks

  4. nutritional record

    Potential changes in the dietary survey were controlled with a food diary

    Measured: The dietary intake will be controlled by a diary in which meals will be recorded for three days and on two different occasions. The measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of consumption of the product. Up to 10 weeks

  5. body composition

    Changes in body composition were measured with a TANITA

    Measured: Body measurements are taken with a Tanita on two different occasions. The measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of consumption of the product. Up to 10 weeks

  6. glucose tolerance test

    Venous blood samples are taken from the finger at different times.

    Measured: The glucose measurements in venous blood are taken with a glucometer on three different occasions (1: at baseline before consumption of the product, 2: at five weeks and 3: ten weeks after ingestion of the layer product observe the changes) .

  7. blood samples

    Changes in lipidic profile:( total cholesterol, HDL and LDL) , it will be measured in mg/dl.

    Measured: It is performed in the laboratory with the ILAB 600 analyzer. Blood samples are analyzed on two different occasions. The measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of consumption of the product. Up to 10 weeks
