Overview
The study aims to evaluate the effect of the royal jelly and propolis on inflammation and oxidative stress in participants with systemic arterial hypertension. A longitudinal double-blind randomized clinical trial will be carried out, involving hypertensive participants for two months.
Detailed description
Royal jelly (RG) and propolis (P) are considered superfood that has been used in traditional medicine and dietary supplementation due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and regenerative properties. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of GR and P highlight their potential as a natural supplement for the prevention and management of several health conditions. Although in vitro and animal model data are promising, clinical studies are still needed to validate the effects of royal jelly and propolis in human populations.
Interventions
- Dietary supplement Placebo
The placebo group will receive 4 capsules per day (containing microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate in colored gelatin capsules capable of masking the appearance of the internal content), at the same time for 2 months. - Dietary supplement Royal Jelly + Propolis Group
Participants will receive 4 capsules per day, providing the dosage of 300mg of royal jelly + 500mg propolis for 2 months (8 weeks).
Primary outcome measures
- Change of inflammatory citokynes [Time frame: Baseline and 2 months]
