no changein humans1

1 study

  1. Berberine + policosanol + red yeast rice + folic acid + coenzyme Q10 + astaxanthin has no effect on HDL cholesterol in humans.

    “No significant changes were detected for plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).”

1 study

  1. Berberine + policosanol + red yeast rice + folic acid + coenzyme Q10 + astaxanthin decreases insulin resistance in humans (-10%).

    “There was a statistically significant reduction in total cholesterolemia (-20%), LDL-C (-31%), and insulin resistance (-10%) with nutraceutical treatment.”
