Effects of 6 Weeks TOTUM-070 on Lipid Metabolism and Cardiovascular Health in Individuals at Increased Cardio-metabolic Risk

An Open-label, Single Center, Single Arm, Clinical Trial to Assess the Consumption Effects of 6 Weeks TOTUM-070 on Lipid Metabolism and Cardiovascular Health in Individuals at Increased Cardio-metabolic Risk

This clinical study aims to assess the efficacy of 6 weeks 2.5g dose of TOTUM-070, a mix of 5 plant extracts, on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health in individuals at increased cardio-metabolic risk.

Main Inclusion Criteria:

• Fasting blood LDL cholesterol level (using Friedewald estimation method) between 1.3 and 1.9 g/L

Main Exclusion Criteria:

• Suffering from a metabolic disorder such as diabetes, uncontrolled thyroidal dysfunction or other metabolic disorder needing a dose adjustment in drug intervention according to the professional recommendations
• Suffering from an uncontrolled arterial hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg)
• With a history of ischemic cardiovascular event
• Suffering from a severe chronic disease (e.g. cancer, HIV, renal failure, ongoing hepatic or biliary disorders, chronic inflammatory digestive disease, arthritis or other chronic respiratory trouble, etc.) or gastrointestinal disorders found to be inconsistent with the conduct of the study by the investigator (e.g. celiac disease)
