Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of the daily intake of yogurts enhanced with Sacha Inchi oil and hybrid palm tree oil on human plasma lipids related to cardiovascular risk factors

Detailed Description

After being recruited and signing a written informed consent about the study and potential risks, the participants were randomized and assigned in a double-blind manner to one of three intervention groups (control yogurt, sacha inchi oil yogurt, or hybrid palm tree oil yogurt; consumption 1 bottle of 200ml per day for 90 days.
