Effect of Chlorogenic Acids on the Human Vasculature

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Endothelial Dysfunction
Interventions
Other: Green coffee extract
Other: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT03520452
Lead Sponsor
Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN)
Brief Summary

This study evaluates effects of different doses of chlorogenic acids on vascular health.

Detailed Description

It has been suggested that consumption of food rich in chlorogenic acids can help to improve vascular health, measured by flow mediated dilation.
