ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of Mastiha oil, a natural oil from the Mediterranean, on adults with high levels of triglycerides in their blood, a condition known as hypertriglyceridemia. The trial aims to see if taking Mastiha oil in soft gel capsules can help improve health markers related to this condition. There will be 100 participants in total, divided into two groups: one group will take the Mastiha oil capsules while the other group will not take any capsules but will still receive the same nutritional advice.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be between 30 and 75 years old, have been stable in weight for at least three months, and have been on the same treatment for six months before joining the trial. It's important to note that certain health conditions and medications may exclude someone from participating. The trial will last for three months, and researchers will evaluate the effects of Mastiha oil through health check-ups and lab tests. This study is a great opportunity to explore a natural approach to managing triglyceride levels, and it could potentially benefit those dealing with this condition.
