Primary outcomes

  1. endothelial function

    Time frame: The measurements of endothelial function are taken with an ultrasound on two different occasions. The measurements will be made at baseline and after eight weeks of product consumption.

    Changes in the dilatation of the Humeral artery.

  2. blood samples

    Time frame: Total cholesterol measurements are taken with the ILAB 600 analyzer on two different occasions. The measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of consumption of the product.

    Change in total cholesterol levels.

  3. Tests

    Time frame: Quality of life measurements are taken on two different occasions. Measurements are made at the beginning and after eight weeks of product consumption.

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

  4. nutritional record

    Time frame: 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.

    Volunteers record dietary intake for three days in a notebook. They will describe the amount of food they consume in grams in order to assess changes in intake during the clinical trial.
