The findings are consistent with another small-scale study, conducted on 63 patients over a period of two months.
Here, supplementation with berberine at a dose o 500 mg twice daily lowered LDL by an average of 23.8 percent.
What’s more, combining the supplement with the 20mg of the cholesterol-lowering drug simvastatin daily lowered LDL cholesterol by an average of 31.8 percent.
The research also revealed that the supplement successfully augmented levels of HDL cholesterol in the blood.
