A randomized, parallel, and double-blind pilot study with 3 study arms is being performed to evaluate the effect of the consumption of two unicellular microalgae: Chlorella vulgaris and Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina).~The investigators included 30 participants between 18 and 65 years (BMI ≥25 and <40 kg / m2). All volunteers will be randomized into 3 study groups, and participants will receive the 3 different study products during 30 days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the consumption of two microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) on some biomarkers of metabolic syndrome: Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Apolipoprotein A and Apolipoprotein B, in overweight / obese subjects with altered lipid profile.
