OBESE
The regular intake of the studied food supplements containing BG could improve DBP and VLDL-C blood concentrations, which are of interest in cardiovascular health. However, the consumption of GCP, BG and a combination of both bioactive ingredients was not enough to induce significant positive changes in lipid and glucose metabolism biomarkers in overweight or obese people without changes in dietary and physical activity habits. However, we do not dismiss the possibility that if the study had been carried out in a larger group of volunteers, and/or if the interventions had been longer and in conjunction with lifestyle modifications, positive effects would have been observed, considering the health properties of BG and GCP.
