New treatment option for High-normal Blood Pressure
Official title Hemodynamic Effects of a Standardized Grape Seed Extract Supplementation
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07090876
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a standardized grape seed extract, compared to placebo, can significantly influence systolic blood pressure (SBP) in individuals with high-normal blood pressure (BP) who are adhering to a low-sodium Mediterranean diet. Additionally, the effects of the grape seed extract on diastolic blood pressure (DBP), other hemodynamic parameters, and the Perceived Stress Score will be assessed.
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
