Advanced Strategy of Food Supplements for the Optimization of Satiety and Lipid Metabolism in Maturity (SACIANS)

The SACIANS study (Advanced Strategy of Food Supplements for the Optimization of Satiety and Lipid Metabolism in Middle-Aged Adults) aims to evaluate the combined effect of commercially available food supplements on satiety and lipid metabolism in adults over 45 years of age who are overweight. This 12-week randomized controlled clinical trial will include 80 participants divided into two parallel groups: a control group without supplementation and an experimental group receiving a specific combination of food supplements with proven nutritional safety and previous evidence of functional effects on metabolism. Primary outcomes include changes in biochemical parameters related to lipid metabolism (cholesterol profile, triglycerides, and glucose), as well as markers of oxidative stress and inflammation. Secondary outcomes include variations in body composition, perceived satiety, emotional well-being, sleep quality, and lifestyle habits such as diet adherence and physical activity. The study will be conducted at the University of Alicante and the EIEH Clinic (Elche Institute of Exercise and Health), following the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The goal is to provide scientific evidence on the synergistic potential of existing food supplement combinations to promote metabolic balance and healthy aging.
