Supplement shows promise for lowering bad cholesterol
NCT ID NCT07492264
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a daily dietary supplement could lower LDL (bad) cholesterol in 90 healthy adults with slightly high levels. Participants took either the supplement or a placebo for 12 weeks, along with standard diet advice. The main goal was to see if the supplement reduced LDL cholesterol more than the placebo. Results help understand if such supplements can support heart health.
