6 common “heart-health” supplements ineffective at lowering cholesterol compared to statins

Research Highlights:

Six widely used dietary supplements promoted for improving heart health – including brands of fish oil, cinnamon, garlic and turmeric – were not effective at lowering “bad” cholesterol more than placebo after 28 days of use.
However, a common, low-dose cholesterol-lowering medication (a statin) had a substantial impact on bad cholesterol during the 28-day study period.
In addition, the dietary supplements did not reduce inflammatory markers, which suggests they may be unlikely to lower heart disease risk at least during the first month of use.
