Official title

Assessing the Efficacy of Herbal Teas on Bone Health in an Osteopenic Population: OsTea

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The project goal is to identify if herbal teas consumed three times per day over a period of three months can improve these markers of bone health as well as improve quality of life (QOL) compared to women taking placebo by increasing osteoblast activity, decreasing osteoclast activity, increasing nocturnal melatonin levels and by decreasing C-reactive protein (CRP) and cortisol levels. Our central hypothesis is that these herbal teas will improve both objective and subjective measures of bone health in a population with osteopenia not taking this regimen by reducing osteoclast activity and increasing osteoblast activity and by reducing stress and anxiety.
