About

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-controlled trial (24 weeks in total), divided into three periods (screening, treatment, and discontinuation follow-up)

Full description

This experiment hopes to understand the effect of long-term consumption of red yeast rice products on blood lipid regulation and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) elevation and to monitor the changes in the subjects' overall health status. This case is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. It is expected to recruit 80 subjects and randomly assign them to 2 groups to take red yeast rice products or a placebo for 24 weeks. The test group takes one red yeast rice capsule (containing 220 mg ANKASCIN 568-P), the control group took a placebo capsule of similar appearance (containing an equal weight of maltodextrin) every day, and blood samples were collected at 0, 4, and 12, 24, weeks for biochemical analysis and recorded. Subjects' general body position measurement, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and other related changes, and monitoring of liver, kidney, and thyroid function.
