A sweet treat that could fight high cholesterol?
NCT ID NCT07740473
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a cinnamon-enriched cookie to standard treatment can improve cholesterol levels and liver function in adults aged 45-55 with high cholesterol. Participants eat one cookie daily alongside their usual therapy, and researchers track weight, BMI, lipid profile, and liver enzymes. The goal is to see if this tasty addition can support cardiovascular and liver health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cinnamon-enriched cookies
- What this could lead to
- If effective, cinnamon-enriched cookies could offer a tasty, easy way to support heart and liver health in people with high cholesterol.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The effect of cinnamon on cholesterol is modest, and cookies still contain sugar and fat, which could offset benefits.
