Strawberry Study (Blood Pressure, CSCBP)
UC Davis Nutrition scientists are looking for pre-hypertensive individuals who are willing to participate in a study to examine the effects of strawberries on blood pressure. The study lasts for 14 weeks.
We need: pre-hypertensive (systolic 120-139 mmHg and/or diastolic 80-89 mmHg) men and women ages 25 – 65 years who:
- Are not taking blood pressure medication or receiving treatment
- Do not have an allergy or intolerance for dairy or strawberry products
- Must not be taking any other medications or supplements
- Females must not be taking birth control.
Participation in this study requires:
- Consumption of a strawberry drink for ten weeks
- Five clinic visits (not including screening) consisting of blood pressure monitoring, blood draws, an electrocardiogram (ECG), and brachial artery flow mediated vasodilation test (a test to examine the ability of your blood vessels to relax, only 2 throughout the study duration)
- Subjects will also be asked to wear a 24-hour blood pressure monitor five times during the study (including screening).
Participants in the study will receive:
- Compensation
- Lab results
