Clinical Trial to Demonstrate the Efficacy of a Dietary Supplement in Decreasing Cardiovascular Risk

Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Clinical Trial to Demonstrate the Efficacy of a Dietary Supplement in Decreasing Cardiovascular Risk

This scale estimates the 10 year risk of fatal CVD.
The risk is estimated with a High & Low cardiovascular Risk Charts based on gender, age, total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure and smoking status, with relative risk chart, qualifiers and instructions. High risk or low risk table depends on whether the person lives in a high or low risk country.
There possible scores goes from 0 to 47 in the high risk table, and 0 to 26 in the low risk table. Where lower values represent lower risk and higher values higher risk.

Calculates 10-year risk of heart disease or stroke using the ASCVD algorithm published in 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Guidelines on de Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk.

The scale measures the probability of having cardiovascular disease in 10 years.
The probability is estimated with age, sex, smoking status, diabetic or not, total Cholesterol (mg/dl), HDL cholesterol (mg/dl), systolic blood pressure (mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg).
Possible risk values are divided in 5 categories: low <5%, moderate 6-9%, medium 10-19%, high 20-38%, very high >39%

LDL in blood measured in mg/dL Measurements will be taken at basal visit, at 3 months and at 6 months after the start of the dietary supplement/placebo intake.

HDL cholesterol will be measured in mg/dl Measurements will be taken at basal visit, at 3 months and at 6 months after the start of the dietary supplement/placebo intake.

Triglycerides will be measured in mg/dl Measurements will be taken at basal visit, at 3 months and at 6 months after the start of the dietary supplement/placebo intake.

Lipoproteins will be measured in mg/dl Measurements will be taken at basal visit, at 3 months and at 6 months after the start of the dietary supplement/placebo intake.

Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) will be measured as % in blood Measurements will be taken at basal visit, at 3 months and at 6 months after the start of the dietary supplement/placebo intake.

Levels of ALT Transaminase measured in IU/L. Measurements will be taken at basal visit, at 3 months and at 6 months after the start of the dietary supplement/placebo intake.

Data will be collected by the investigator at participant visits with a unique question about percentage of intake. It will be considered a good compliance if the 80% of the medication has been taken.

The Morisky-Green scale measures treatment adherence with four yes or no questions.
In which yes punctuates 0 and no punctuates 1.
Possible result values goes from 0 to 4, being 0 less adherence and 4 more adherence.

The number of returned product will be counted
