Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the antioxidant effect of a nutraceutical formulation based on vegetable oil and vitamin complex (vitamin K2 and vitamin B9) in subjects with the same level of physical activity (LAF 1.70-1.99, normally active or moderately active).

Detailed Description
Study design: The pilot study will enroll 20 subjects with physical activity level LAF 1.70-1.99 (normally active or moderately active).
The 20 subjects will be divided into two groups of 10 subjects following randomization. The first group will take the dietary supplement (three capsules per day) for 60 days, while the second group will take a placebo (three capsules per day) for 60 days.
During the treatment period (60 days), the two groups will undergo follow-ups at days 0, 15, 30 and 60 within which clinical and hematochemical examinations will be conducted. At the end of the 60 days, after the wash-out period (two weeks), as per the cross-over design the group previously taking the dietary supplement will be on placebo (three capsules per day) for 60 days, while the group previously taking placebo will take the dietary supplement (three capsules per day) for 60 days. Again, follow-ups will be at 0, 15, 30 and 60 days.
