ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a herbal tea called "Xian-Hua-Cha" (XHC) to see if it can help reduce high cholesterol and body fat in people who are obese. The researchers want to understand how well this tea works for people who have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher and also have high cholesterol or triglycerides, which are types of fats in the blood. They will be looking at changes in patients' weight, body fat, and important blood sugar and cholesterol levels throughout the study.

To participate, you need to be between 20 and 75 years old with a BMI of at least 27 and high cholesterol or triglyceride levels. The study is currently looking for 100 participants, and all genders are welcome. If you join, you'll be asked to follow the study rules and sign a consent form. However, certain people, like those who are pregnant or have certain health conditions, cannot participate. This trial is a great opportunity to see if XHC can make a difference in managing weight and cholesterol for those struggling with obesity.
