Abstract:

This study is a randomized controlled trial with placebo in 55 elderly Filipinas. A baseline study of the subjects�?? blood chemistry profile such as blood lipid profile, myocardial oxygen and vitamin, mineral and toxins through QMRA was done before embarking on the study. 5 women dropped out from the study due to migration factor while the 50 elderly women were able to finish the 8 weeks study. Inclusion criteria were women 60 year old, symptom-free of any degenerative changes for 6 months and those with no previous surgical history. The 25 subjects were given Phycocyanin with SOD at 3500 to 4000 mg per day for a period of 8 weeks while the remaining 25 subjects were given placebo. This study was conceptualized with intention to treat. Results showed p value of P<0.5 which is statistically significant. The 25 elderly women who were given 3500-4000 mg of Phycocyanin with SOD showed remarkable improvement as to their lipid profile, blood glucose and vitamin and mineral content, reduction of toxins and increase in myocardial oxygenation and gained more youthful appearance and stamina.
