Dyslipidemia
Supplements studied for dyslipidemia.
Overview
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) and Oats both rate DEX Score 76 with high effect and evidence. Prescription niacin (≥500 mg) is approved for certain lipid disorders and can lower LDL, triglycerides, and raise HDL at higher doses, though it has not shown mortality benefit. Daily oat products providing 3.6–10 g soluble fiber reduce total cholesterol by about 4–14 mg/dL.
Gamma-Oryzanol and Cassia Cinnamon show medium effect-size signals for lowering total cholesterol, LDL, or triglycerides in some trials. Yerba Mate (DEX Score 60; low effect size, high evidence, very high trust) has more limited lipid benefit across meta-analyses. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below for all 15 supplements.
