The Effects of the Dietary Supplement CardioFlex Q10 on Reducing

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), primarily heart disease and stroke, are the leading causes of death and prescription drug use in Canada. Research on certain dietary supplements looks promising as a way to help reduce CVD risk factors. Studies show that supplementation of certain nutrients such as antioxidants, amino acids, electrolytes, vitamins and minerals may effectively reduce cardiovascular risk factors. The dietary supplement CardioFlex Q10, which is high in the aforementioned components, was developed to help regulate the body's production of cholesterol, strengthen the arteries and heart, and reverse oxidation. The overall objective of this study is to determine if 90 days of supplementing with CardioFlex Q10 can reduce CVD risk factors in adults, independent of other dietary or physical activity changes.

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not daily supplementation with the dietary supplement CardioFlex Q10 for 90 days can reduce cardiovascular risk factors in healthy adults. The health markers that will be tested include the participant's waist circumference, body weight, body mass index (BMI), atherosclerosis risk factors (blood pressure, plethysmogram (PTG) wave form, heart rate variability, accelerated plethysmograph (APG) type (biological age of arteries)), and blood work including total plasma lipid profile (total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TGs)), kidney and liver function (alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), creatinine), and inflammatory and endothelial function biomarkers (C-reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), soluble intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) ). All health markers will be tested the day before starting the study and the day after the study is completed. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
