A Multidisciplinary Investigation of Cardiovascular Benefits of Wild Rice

This study is designed to investigate the effects of wild rice consumption on gut microbiome diversity and population in volunteer healthy young adults.

In this study, the investigators will establish whether changes in gut microbiome due to consumption of wild rice may result in altered macronutrient metabolism by studying plasma metabolomics.

In this study, plasma lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations will be estimated to assess the impact of wild rice consumption on the overall risk for atherosclerosis.

Mobil-O-Graph techniques will be used to measure endothelial cell function in the participants prior to consumption of wild rice and after 28 days of consumption of wild rice. This study will establish the effects of wild rice consumption on endothelial cell function.

Subjects that meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and have provided informed consent will undergo a 4-week period of lifestyle advice and changes. If, after the 4 weeks, LDL values are confirmed above the established cutoffs, the subjects receive CARDIOVIS COLESTEROLO 3 mg for 8 weeks. After the 8-week treatment period, all biological paprameters will be reassessed. Finally, a last blood samples to assess a potential rebound effect after nutraceutical suspension is collected 4 weeks after the treatment stop.

Dyslipidemias

patients will take one tablet of 500mg daily for 12 weeks. No dose titration is foreseen.
