Greenselect phytosome for borderline metabolic syndrome

Area of Science:

• Nutritional Science
• Biochemistry
• Preventive Medicine

Background:

• Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions increasing risk for heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
• Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome.
• Lifestyle and dietary changes are primary interventions for metabolic syndrome.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of Greenselect Phytosome, a green tea catechin extract, in subjects with metabolic syndrome risk factors.
• To assess the impact of Greenselect Phytosome on oxidative stress and metabolic parameters.

Main Methods:

• A controlled registry study involving 50 asymptomatic subjects with metabolic syndrome risk factors.
• Intervention with Greenselect Phytosome for 24 weeks, compared to lifestyle and dietary changes alone.
• Assessment of weight, blood lipid profile, blood pressure, and plasma oxidative stress.

Main Results:

• 68% of subjects receiving Greenselect Phytosome improved beyond the metabolic syndrome profile after 24 weeks.
• Greenselect Phytosome demonstrated significant efficacy in weight and waist circumference reduction compared to controls.
• The control group (lifestyle and diet alone) showed limited improvement, with 80% remaining borderline.

Conclusions:

• Greenselect Phytosome is a beneficial adjunct to lifestyle and dietary changes for managing metabolic syndrome.
• The pleiotropic effects of Greenselect Phytosome address multiple factors contributing to metabolic syndrome.
• This intervention supports improved overall health profiles in at-risk individuals.
