  • Change From Baseline in Lipid Profile

    Blood lipid panel including HDL, LDL, total cholesterol. Looking at Baseline to 12 weeks on supplement with a two week washout period

    Baseline and 14 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Changes in High-Sensitivity C-reactive Protein

    Baseline and 14 weeks

  • C-reactive Protein

    Baseline and 14 weeks

  • Changes From Baseline in Platelet Aggregometry

    Baseline and 14 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Capros dietary supplement

OTHER

Subjects will take Capros supplement (1 capsule) twice a day for 12 weeks.The subjects then will have blood drawn seven times throughout the course of the study.

Dietary Supplement: Capros dietary supplement

Interventions

Capros dietary supplementDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Study participants will have 2 to 3 baseline blood draws, 3 blood draws while taking Capros supplements and 2 wash out blood draws after finishing 12 weeks of Capros supplementation. Participants will attend 7 to 8 study visits (depending on number of baseline visits needed) and at each visit participants will have their blood drawn as well as height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse measured.
