About
A large body of evidence confirm the cholesterol lowering effect of red yeast rice, phytosterols and L-tyrosol. Because their mechanisms of action mime the ones of chemical statins and cholesterol absorption inhibitors, it is plausible that their association will provide a more relevant (and safe) LDL cholesterolemia reduction.
Full description
European Food Safety Authority approves some health claim related to the cardiometabolic effects of some nutraceuticals, and in particular of red yeast rice, phytosterols and L-tyrosol.
In a previous study the investigators have already demonstrated the synergistic effect of red yeast rice and phytosterols in term of lipid-lowering activity.
Preliminary data suggest that these nutraceuticals could also exert a positive effect on vascular health beyond the direct effects on serum lipids.
No data are available on the combined effects of these dietary supplement in humans.
