Can a Salt-Marsh plant extract help control cholesterol?
NCT ID NCT07559110
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a dietary supplement made from halophyte plant extracts (like salicornia) and B vitamins can improve cholesterol levels in people recently diagnosed with dyslipidemia who do not yet need medication. About 250 participants will take the supplement or follow standard care for 3 months. The goal is to see if the supplement can safely lower cholesterol and other blood fats.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dietary supplement based on halophyte plant extracts (salicornia) and B vitamins
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a natural option to help manage cholesterol levels without prescription drugs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early pilot study with only 250 participants, so results may not be conclusive. The supplement is not a substitute for medication and may have limited effect.
