Tocotrienols and Citrus Flavonoids Lower Cholesterol by 20-30%

Tuesday, December 04, 2007 - Byron J. Richards, CCN

A new study shows the power of natural substances to help promote healthy levels of cholesterol.  A combination of tocotrienols and citrus-derived polymethoxylated flavones were tested on men and women with high cholesterol (total greater than 230).  There were two open-label studies and one double-blind study.  The studies varied in length from 4-12 weeks.

The researchers found there was a significant reduction in total cholesterol (20%-30%), LDL (19%-27%), apolipoprotein B (21%), and triglycerides (24%-34%).

The ability of concentrated natural products to help support a healthy cholesterol level is certainly good news, as these substances have no adverse side effects
