简要总结
To assess the efficacy and safety of a Marine Lipid Oil Concentrate formulation on inflammatory biomarkers and overall well-being in male and female subjects who are overweight to mildly obese, but otherwise generally healthy.
详细描述
This is a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effects of a Marine Lipid Oil Concentrate formulation on inflammation.. Each subject will receive a specific dose of the study product (A) to be taken once daily with a specific dose of the study product (B) to be taken once daily for a total of 60 days.
Participants will receive questionnaires, assessments, blood tests, vital signs and a body composition analysis.
The primary objective is the assessment of the change in the blood levels of hs-CRP in response to the Marine Lipid Oil Concentrate formulation relative to screening/baseline compared to placebo.
The secondary objective is the assessment of the change in the in response to the Marine Lipid Oil Concentrate formulation relative to screening/baseline compared to placebo for Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Fibrinogen Activity, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), Ferritin, Blood lipid levels (Total Cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Triglycerides), Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey scores and the Medical Symptoms Questionnaire

- •Willing and able to comply with all study procedures, including following the recommendations to maintain their usual diet and regular activity, as per protocol
- •Able to communicate, including reading, in English
- •Have not taken any nutritional supplements that may contain any of the components of the study product for a minimum of 14 days before Screening/baseline
排除标准
- •Having smoked any cigarette, electronic cigarette, cigar, pipe, or used a recreational drug as well as any product containing cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol in the past 30 days.
- •Donated blood within 30 days before Screening/baseline
- •Inability to provide a venous blood sample
- •Participation in another study within 30 days before Screening/baseline
- •Being pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant during study participation; or breast feeding
- •History of allergy or sensitivity to any component of the study products
- •Currently taking a lipid lowering medication or dietary supplement
- •Currently taking a medication or dietary supplement specifically for pain or inflammation including curcumin and unwilling to washout (i.e., stop taking) for 14 days before Screening/baseline
- •Currently taking or having taken a fish oil, krill oil, omega-3 supplement and omega-3 prescription drugs within the past 3 months before Screening/baseline
- •Currently taking or having taken pain medications or anti-inflammatory medication(s) (e.g., aspirin, NSAIDs, Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, and corticosteroids) within 14 days before Screening/baseline or in the judgment of the Study Investigator/Sub-I would not preclude participation in the study
- •Having been diagnosed, received medical treatment, or taking medication daily for the following medical condition(s):
- •Acute or chronic inflammatory or autoimmune disease (including rheumatoid arthritis, system lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, Sjögren's syndrome, polymyalgia rheumatica, inflammatory bowel disease, and psoriatic arthritis)
- •Presence of active or recurring clinically significant conditions as follows:

- •Cardiovascular disease including heart and blood vessel disease, arrhythmia, heart attack, stroke, or heart valve problem
- •Gastrointestinal disease including gallbladder problems, gallstones, or biliary tract obstruction
- •Thyroid disease (unless on a stable dose of medication for 3 months before screening and unlikely to change medication or dose during the study)
- •Hypertension (unless on a stable dose of medication for 3 months screening and unlikely to change medication or dose during the study)
- •Neurologic condition/disease
- •Cancer (unless skin cancer other than melanoma which has been treated > 3 years before Screening/baseline)
- •Liver, pancreatic, and kidney disease
- •Pulmonary disease
- •Blood coagulation disorder or other hematologic disease
