This paper describes a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention study conducted by researchers from the Leibniz University Hannover in Germany to evaluate the effects of a low moncacolin K dose and folic acid on plasma lipids and homocysteine levels, respectively. The results of their analyses were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that taking a low dose of 3 mg monacolin K from RYR daily reduces the concentration of LDL-C, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
