Effect of Consumption of Supplements and Enriched Olive Paste on Bone Metabolism Indices (Osteoporosis)

November 16, 2023 updated by: University of the Aegean

Effect of the Consumption of Vitamin C, D3, Ca Supplements and Olive Paste Enriched With Mountain Tea on Bone Metabolism Indices in Postmenopausal Women With Increased Osteoporosis' Risk: A Prospective Interventional Study

It was a prospective randomized controlled trial. A sample of 115 apparently healthy post-menopausal women(45 -75 years of age) randomized into four groups and received supplements of Ca, Vitamin D and Mg with or without enriched olive paste and with or without Vitamin C. Changes in calciregulatory hormone were evaluated at the beginning of the study, at 5 and 12 months . Blood levels of vitamin D, vitamin C, Ca, Mg, the lipid profile, anthropometric indices and bone density were assessed at the beginning and at the end of the study.

Detailed Description

: It was a prospective randomized controlled trial. A sample of 115 apparently healthy post-menopausal women(45 -75 years of age) randomized into four groups: (I) nutritional intervention group(n=40) received daily 1000mg vitamin C, 500mg vitamin D3, 500mg calcium(Ca) and 300mg magnesium (Mg); (II) control group(n=42) received daily 500mg vitamin D3, 500mg Ca and 300mg Mg; (III) nutritional intervention group (n=18) received daily 150mg bisphosphonates, 500mg vitamin D3, 500mg Ca and 300mg Mg; and (IV) nutritional intervention group (n=15) received daily about 364 mg polyphenols via an innovative functional food (50g olive paste enriched with mountain tea extract) along with 500mg vitamin D3, 500mg Ca and 300mg Mg. Groups I -III received supplementation for a year whereas group IV for 5 months. Changes in calciregulatory hormone parathormone (PTH) were evaluated at the beginning of the study as well as at 5 and 12 months intervals. Blood levels of vitamin D, vitamin C, Ca, Mg and the lipid profile were assessed at the beginning and at the end of the study. Anthropometric indices (weight, body fat(Kg), Body Mass Index(BMI) and bone mineral density(BMD) were evaluated at the beginning and at the end of the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
