Objective: During the menopause, oestrogen deficiency brings about changes in the lipid profile which increase the cardiovascular (CV) risk. The use of food supplements together with a healthy lifestyle and a varied, balanced diet is a logical approach for improving CV disease prevention.
A combination of nutraceuticals (EL) based on berberine (a natural extract that reduces total cholesterol and triglycerides), soya isoflavones (SI), Lactobacillus sporogenes and vitamin D3 was compared with the same formulation without berberine (E) in menopausal women with borderline dyslipidaemia.
Method: Randomised, controlled, parallel-group multicenter study in menopausal women with Tot-C >200 and <260 mg/dl on a controlled low-fat diet or not on treatment with lipid-lowering agents.
