Clinical trial evidence strongly supports the notion that both red yeast rice and plant stanols and sterols effectively lower low–density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Preliminary evidence supports the possibility that green tea catechins and black tea theaflavins may lower LDL. Data do not support an LDL–lowering claim for guggulipid, policosanol, or cinnamon. Finally, there is strong clinical trial evidence suggesting that marine omega–3 fatty acids lower triglycerides.
