My doctor wants me on a statin. Can I take Berrine instead?
Cholesterol and triglycerides, both down
Half the people took amla. The other half took a fake pill. Both groups also ate better and exercised.
The amla group did much better. Their "bad" LDL dropped 4 times more, and their triglycerides dropped by a third. The researchers noted that one ingredient lowering both is rare.
