Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Ad-Chol-PreActive Control1 Intervention
A functional food ingredient designed to inhibit cholesterol absorption. ACP is a freeze dried defatted egg powder containing specific Anti-NPCIL1 (Niemann-Pick C1-like 1) IgY. NPC1L1 is known as a biological target of the cholesterol-uptake inhibitor, Ezetimibe.
Group II: Half-dose Ad-Chol-PreActive Control1 Intervention
A half-dose of the active comparator in arm one is administered. A functional food ingredient designed to inhibit cholesterol absorption. ACP is a freeze dried defatted egg powder containing specific Anti-NPCIL1 (Niemann-Pick C1-like 1) IgY. NPC1L1 is known as a biological target of the cholesterol-uptake inhibitor, Ezetimibe.
Group III: Capsule containing inactive component of defatted egg yolkPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Placebo capsule is filled with defat egg yolk only without specific IgY which is anti-NPC1L1 IgY, designed to look and taste the same as the active product capsule, but does not contain the active component.
