Evaluation of an Antihypertensive Food Supplement Based on Aqueous Extract From Annona Muricata Sheets

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Hypertension
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Annona muricata
Registration Number
NCT03909945
Lead Sponsor
Yaounde Central Hospital
Brief Summary

The AM-HTN trial aim to investigate the effects of a tablet based on aqueous extracts of Annona muricata as add-on therapy in a hypertensive population.

Patients with prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension confirmed, will be selected and assign in a single arm, non randomly, open label clinical trial.

The group will receive in addition to their dietary measures, daily, one tablet of 796 mg of aqueous extracts of Annona muricata leaves.

The objective of AM-HTN is to determine the antihypertensive and metabolic effects of AM tablets in a population of African hypertensives.

Blood pressure profile, lipid profile, serum creatinine and transaminases profiles will be recorded and analysed at baseline and two months following enrolment.
