The placebo is olive oil, stripped of polyphenols, 70% oleic acid, and will be administered at two 1 gram capsules per day for twelve weeks. The doses will be administered in single serve packets containing two capsules for each daily dose to be taken at breakfast.

POA Dose 1 is a 1 gram capsule containing 500 mg POA and one placebo capsule containing 500 mg olive oil per day for twelve weeks. The doses will be administered in single serve packets containing two capsules for each daily dose to be taken at breakfast.

POA Dose 2 is two, 1 gram capsules containing 500 mg POA, totaling 1,000 mg POA per day for twelve weeks.The doses will be administered in single serve packets containing two capsules for each daily dose to be taken at breakfast.

12-week randomized, double blinded study in volunteers consuming either the test agent, 500 mg or 1,000 mg POA per day, or an olive oil containing fatty acid (placebo). There are three arms to study and 41 individuals per arm, thus, a total of 123 subjects.

Administration of the POA supplements and placebo (olive oil capsules) will be via a simple randomized double-blinded allocation. The study sponsor will provide the Principal Investigator with bags, or boxes, of single serve packets containing two capsules for each daily dose per participant in accordance with the proper dosage for each of the three arms of the study. The study sponsor will hold the code for the subjects and will randomize the capsules. No site personnel will have access to the randomization allocation; only the study sponsor will have the code. The identity of the capsules will be revealed once all analyses are complete.
