Herbal vs standard medicines for metabolic syndrome
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares herbal medicines to standard medications for people with metabolic syndrome—a group of conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess belly fat. The goal is to see if herbs work as well as traditional drugs, with fewer side effects.
