Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Nutraceutical lipid-lowering interventions are becoming increasingly popular, particularly among patients who are intolerant or refractory to prescription statins, or who desire alternative non-conventional pharmacological treatment to manage their dyslipidaemia, whether they previously experienced statin intolerance or not. A growing body of preclinical and clinical evidence suggest that the amla (Emblica officinalis) red yeast rice (RYR), olive and walnut leaf extracts posses consideable hpolipidaemic pharmacological effects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The present exploratory study aimed to assess the safety, efficacy, and patient's satisfaction of a combined supplementation of amla, red yeast rice, olive, and walnut leaf extracts (Cholesfytol NG®) on total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein - cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein - cholesterol (HDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein - cholesterol (non-HDL-C), remnant cholesterol (RC) and triglycerides (TG) in hyperlipidaemic patients.
