Effects of Nattokinase on Inflammation and Cardiovascular Risk Markers in Patients With Dyslipidemia
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The study aims to evaluate the effect of the nattokinase enzyme on inflammation and markers of cardiovascular risk in participants with dyslipidemia. A longitudinal double-blind randomized clinical trial will be carried out, involving hypertensive participants with dyslipidemia for two months.
