Official Title: Effects of Novel Coconut Inflorescence Sap (CSP; COCOZEN) on Age-related Cardiovascular Function

Brief Summary: The goal of this intervention is to determine the efficacy of coconut sap powder (CSP) to lower arterial stiffness and blood pressure in middle-aged and older adults. Participants will be randomized to the CSP arm or Placebo arm of the study. Primary endpoints include: aortic stiffness assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, resting brachial and (non-invasive) carotid blood pressure, and carotid stiffness (e.g. Beta stiffness index, Carotid compliance, Elastic modulus, Distensibility).
