The secondary objectives are * Evaluate the improvement of the lipid profile compared to maintaining healthy lifestyle habits. * Evaluate the difference in effect between 1 tablet and 2 tablets daily in improving the lipid profile. * Evaluate changes in anthropometric data and vital signs. * Evaluate adherence to treatment * Evaluate the safety profile of the product * Evaluate satisfaction with treatment There are three treatment arms: 1. Arm 1 (Gr 1): Patients being treated with a nutritional supplement based on bergamot, artichoke and other ingredients with one capsule every night at dinner with a glass of water for four months. 2. Arm 2 (Gr 2): Patients treated with a nutritional supplement based on bergamot, artichoke and other ingredients with two capsules every night at dinner with a glass of water for four months. 3.
