Vitamin e and fiber combo tested for cholesterol control
NCT ID NCT07610304
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether taking vitamin E (400 mg daily) alone or together with psyllium husk (10 g daily) for 60 days could improve blood fat levels in adults with high cholesterol and triglycerides. Sixty participants aged 40–60 were randomly assigned to one of three groups: vitamin E alone, vitamin E plus psyllium, or a placebo. Researchers measured changes in cholesterol and triglycerides at 30 and 60 days to see if either supplement combination made a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) and psyllium husk (dietary fibre)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost dietary supplement approach to help manage cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Dietary supplements often have modest effects and are not a substitute for standard medications like statins.
