Clinical Trial 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).

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.
