Summary

This randomized placebo-controlled study evaluates the efficacy of Nigella sativa (Nisatol®) supplementation in women with borderline blood pressure values or a non-dipper blood pressure phenotype. The study aims to assess the effects of supplementation on blood pressure and resting heart rate in women presenting high-normal blood pressure values (≥130/85 mmHg) and/or a nocturnal non-dipper blood pressure pattern.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Nigella sativa (Nisatol®) or placebo for 12 weeks. After the treatment phase, a washout period will be followed by a dietary intervention phase combined with alternate treatment according to the study design. Cardiological and nutritional assessments will be performed at predefined time points.
