Equol Supplementation on Blood Pressure and Vascular Function
August 3, 2015 updated by: Liu Zhaomin, Chinese University of Hong Kong
Effect of Natural S-equol on Blood Pressure and Vascular funtion-a Six-month Randomized, Double-blind and Placebo-controlled Trial Among Equol Non-producers of Postmenopausal Women With Prehypertension or Untreated Stage 1 Hypertension
We propose to perform a 24-week randomized, double-blind a placebo-controlled trial among 207 non-equol producing postmenopausal women with prehypertension to examine the effectiveness of equol (10mg and 20mg/d) on 24h ambulatory blood pressure, vascular function and other cardiovascular risks (lipid profile, glycemic control and inflammatory biomarkers) and explore the optimal dosage of equol.

Detailed Description
Inclusion criteria
- Hong Kong Chinese women aged 45-65 y with 2~8 years menopausal;
- Mean SBP above 130 mmHg or DBP above 80 mmHg or both based on an average of 6 BP readings on two different occasions measured by sphygmomanometer.
- Equol non-producer is defined as 24-hour urinary log10 S-equol:daidzein ratio less than -1.75 after daidzein challenge (60mg daidzein daily for 7 consecutive days).
Exclusion criteria
- Subjects on anti-hypertensive medication or with average SBP≥160 or DBP≥100 or both;
- Use of medications known to affect BP within past 6 months;
- Medical history or presence of certain chronic diseases that could affect BP or limit the individual's ability to participate in the study;
- Present or history of certain cancers;
- Regular smoker or alcohol consumption more than 30 g/day;
