Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Subjects will be invited for a screening visit after completing a health and lifestyle questionnaire. If they fit the inclusion criteria they will be matched with another subject of a similar blood pressure and BMI and randomly assigned to a treatment. Products will be supplied in opaque bottles labelled with codes. Products will be bottled and labelled offsite so that the researcher and the subjects do not know which product is which.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomization.com will be used to generate random block sizes.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s
The people administering the treatment/s
The people assessing the outcomes
