Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Subjects contact researchers following advertisement, undergo telephone screening and are allocated to treatment order on arrival for first visit
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Subjects are allocated treatment order by an online random sequence number generator by a person independent of the study
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s
The people administering the treatment/s
The people assessing the outcomes
Intervention assignment
Crossover
Other design features
Phase
Type of endpoint/s
Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Based on power calculations from our previous study, with 80% power, p<0.05 to detect a minimum change in FMD of 1.3% absolute, 40 people were required in a cross over study.

Summary
Brief summary
The aim of this study is determine the effect of sodium to potassium ratio on postprandial endothelial function in healthy subjects. We speculate that a low sodium to potassium ratio improves postprandial endothelial function compared to high sodium to potassium ratio.
