Description
Inclusion Criteria:
To be eligible to the study, male and female volunteers will have to fulfil the following criteria (assessment based on the medical examination performed at V0 with a checking at V1):
- Age between 18 and 65 years (limits included),
- BMI between 25 and 35 kg/m² (limits included),
- With metabolic syndrome defined as central obesity : waist circumference > 94 cm for man and > 80 cm for woman associated to at least 2 observed criteria among : Fasting blood triglycerides > 1.5 g/L and/or Fasting blood HDL cholesterol < 0.4 g/L for man and < 0.5 g/L for woman and/or Fasting blood glucose level > 1 g/L and/or Arterial pressure > 130/85 mmHg or under antihypertensive treatment,
- For women : non menopausal with the same reliable contraception since at least 3 months before the beginning of the study and agreeing to keep it during the entire duration of the study (condom with spermicide gel accepted) or menopausal without or with hormone replacement therapy started at stable dose since at least 3 months before the beginning of the study and agreeing to keep it during the entire duration of the study,
- Weight stable with +/- 5 % in the last 3 months ,
- Non smoking or with tobacco consumption < 10 cigarettes / day,

- Agree to be registered on the volunteers in biomedical research file,
After V0 biological analysis the subjects will be eligible to the study on the following criterion :
- Blood fasting lipid profile not requiring therapeutic intervention meaning professional recommendations (AFSSAPS, 2005).
A re-screening can occur from 2 months after the exit of the study for failure to comply with one or more of the inclusion criteria listed above.
Exclusion Criteria:
Volunteers with the following criteria will be considered as non eligible to the study (assessment based on the medical examination performed at V0 with a checking at V1):

- Under legal protection (guardianship, wardship) or deprived from his rights following administrative or judicial decision,
- Presenting a psychological or linguistic incapability to sign the informed consent,
- Impossible to contact in case of emergency,
After V0 biological analysis the subjects will be considered as non eligible to the study on the following criteria :
- Fasting blood triglycerides > 3.5 g/L (3.95 mmol/L),
- Blood ASAT, ALAT or GGT (Gamma Glutamyl Transferase) > 3xULN (Upper Limit of Normal),

- Blood hsCRP > 10 mg/L,
- Complete blood count with clinically significant abnormality according to the investigator.
A re-screening can occur from 2 months after the exit of the study for failure to comply with one or more of the exclusion criteria listed above.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Spirulysat®
Food supplement packaged in 10 ml vials called Spirulysat®.
This product is a phycocyanin concentrated fresh spirulina water extract (Spirulina Platensis). 2 vials daily to consume in the morning, just before the breakfast, in a glass of water, during 12 weeks (from V1 to V3 visit).
