Lipid-lowering Effect of Phytosterols, Red Yeast Rice and Their Combination

NCT02603276 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A large body of evidence confirm the cholesterol lowering effect of phytosterols and red yeast rice. Because their mechanisms of action mime the ones of chemical statins and cholesterol absorption inhibitors, it is plausible that their association will provide a more relevant (and safe) LDL cholesterolemia reduction.
