Dietary Supplement: TOTUM-070
Registration Number

Brief Summary

This clinical trial is to confirm the effects of TOTUM-070, a mix of 5 plants extracts, consumed at the daily regimen of two times per day, on fasting blood LDL cholesterol concentrations in moderately hypercholesterolemic subjects after 12 weeks of consumption (V3).

Detailed Description

The main objective is to confirm the efficacy of a 4.995g/day dose of TOTUM-070 versus placebo on fasting blood LDL cholesterol level (Ultracentrifugation (UC) method) in moderately hypercholesterolemic subjects following 12 weeks of consumption (V3).

The proposed double-blinded, placebo-controlled, clinical study will provide further insight into the safety and efficacy of TOTUM-070 at the same dose (4.995g/day) on a shorter supplementation period (3 months) than the previous one (6 months), as well as assess the effect after the follow-up period without product intake.
