• The properties of Amorphophallus Konjac reducing Cholesterol:
  • HO, Hoang Vi Thanh; et al. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of the effect of konjac glucomannan, a viscous soluble fiber, on LDL cholesterol and the new lipid targets non-HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B. The American journal of clinical nutrition, 2017, 105.5: 1239-1247. PMID:28356275
    Conclusions: Our findings support the intake of ∼3 g KJM/d for reductions in LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol of 10% and 7%, respectively. The information may be of interest to health agencies in crafting future dietary recommendations related to reduction in CVD risk. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02068248.
  • GALLAHER, Daniel D.; et al. A glucomannan and chitosan fiber supplement decreases plasma cholesterol and increases cholesterol excretion in overweight normocholesterolemic humans. Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2002, 21.5: 428-433. PMID:12356785
    CONCLUSIONS: Serum cholesterol reduction by a chitosan/glucomannan supplement is likely mediated by increased fecal steroid excretion and is not linked to fat excretion.
• The properties of Chitosan reducing Cholesterol:
  • GALLAHER, Daniel D.; et al. A glucomannan and chitosan fiber supplement decreases plasma cholesterol and increases cholesterol excretion in overweight normocholesterolemic humans. Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2002, 21.5: 428-433. PMID:12356785
    CONCLUSIONS: Serum cholesterol reduction by a chitosan/glucomannan supplement is likely mediated by increased fecal steroid excretion and is not linked to fat excretion.
  • HUANG, Haohai; et al. Lipid-Modifying Effects of Chitosan Supplementation in Humans: A Pooled Analysis with Trial Sequential Analysis. Molecular nutrition & food research, 2018, 62.8: 1700842. PMID:29451712
    CONCLUSION: Supplementation with chitosan effectively reduces plasma concentrations of TC and LDL-C. Current evidence indicates daily chitosan supplementation as a candidate for therapeutic lipid management strategies.
• The properties of Inositol reducing Cholesterol:
  • TABRIZI, Reza; OSTADMOHAMMADI, V.; LANKARANI, K. B.; PEYMANI, P.; AKBARI, M.; KOLAHDOOZ, F.; ASEMI, Z. The effects of inositol supplementation on lipid profiles among patients with metabolic diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Lipids in health and disease, 2018, 17.1: 123. PMID:29793496
    CONCLUSIONS: Inositol supplementation may result in reduction in triglycerides, total- and LDL-cholesterol levels, but did not affect HDL-cholesterol levels among patients with metabolic diseases. Additional prospective studies regarding the effect of inositol supplementation on lipid profiles in patients with metabolic diseases are necessary.
• The properties of Zingiber Officinale reducing Cholesterol:
  • POURMASOUMI, Makan; et al. The effect of ginger supplementation on lipid profile: A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials. Phytomedicine, 2018, 43: 28-36. PMID:29747751
    CONCLUSION: The present systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that ginger had a favorable effect on TAG and LDL-C. Also, the result revealed that low dose of ginger (≤2 g/day) had greater lowering impact on TAG and TC. Further studies with large-scale and better design are needed to confirm this result.
• The properties of Pterostilbene reducing Cholesterol:
  • RICHE, K. D.; BLACKSHEAR, C. T.; MCEWEN, C. L.; SHERMAN, J. J.; WOFFORD, M. R.; GRISWOLD, M. E. Pterostilbene on metabolic parameters: a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial. Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2014, 2014: . PMID:25057276
    CONCLUSION: Pterostilbene increases LDL and reduces blood pressure in adults. This trial is registered with Clinicaltrials.gov NCT01267227.
