Nutrients connected to Hyperlipidemia

A link means the body needs the nutrient for this, or that low intake is linked to it. It does not mean extra supplements help if your intake is already adequate; each link shows how strong the evidence is.

• Sea buckthornPreliminary or mixed

  Pooled trials found lower blood fats only in people with abnormal lipid metabolism, with high variability between trials.

• Kuding Tea (Bitter Tea)Preliminary or mixed

  Eight small Chinese trials in people with high blood fats and related conditions found lower cholesterol and triglycerides; trial quality was poor and forms and doses varied.

• Canola OilClinically supported

  Canola oil lowered LDL and total cholesterol in pooled trials when replacing other fats.

• Coconut Oil (as Food)Documented risk

  Raises LDL cholesterol; people with high cholesterol should ask a clinician.

• Palm OilDocumented risk

  Palm oil raises LDL versus unsaturated oils, which matters for people with raised blood fats.

• Vitamin B3 (niacin)Preliminary or mixed

  Niacin is given at high doses to treat high cholesterol and can modestly change HDL and triglycerides; this is a clinician-led treatment, and benefit for heart outcomes was not verified here.

• BarberryPreliminary or mixed

  Pooled trials found lower triglycerides and cholesterol; larger studies are needed.

• Dill seedPreliminary or mixed

  Pooled supplement trials show lower LDL; reviews disagree on other blood fats and authors ask for better trials.

• TomatoesPreliminary or mixed

  Pooled trials found lower LDL with tomato products; a larger trial found no lipid change.

• Sacha Inchi (Inca Peanut)Preliminary or mixed

  One small 12-week trial of the oil (not the seeds) in adults with high blood fats found lower total cholesterol and LDL; triglycerides did not change.

• Rice Bran OilPreliminary or mixed

  Trial participants often had raised blood fats; results varied between studies.

• Walnut & Other Nut OilsPreliminary or mixed

  Small trials in adults with raised blood fats reported lower lipids with walnut oil; they do not replace medical care.

• Bamboo CharcoalLab or animal research only

  Bamboo charcoal powder lowered blood fats in high-fat-fed rats; no human trial was read.
