NCT03795792

Brief Summary

The metabolic syndrome consists of a set of risk factors that increases the probability to develop heart diseases and type 2 diabetes, two of the principal chronic diseases that affect Mexican population. The curcumin is a compound that is extracted from the root of a plant called Cúrcuma longa. There exists information that curcumin helps to diminish weight and the levels of blood glucose and blood fats. The hypothesis of this study is: that curcumin administration combined with diet and exercise remits the metabolic syndrome.
