Advanced Cholesterol Complex
OL Olympian Labs
Overview
The supplement contains several ingredients with established efficacy for cholesterol management, but the dosing and form of some ingredients, particularly Niacin and Inositol Hexanicotinate, may limit overall effectiveness compared to conventional therapies. The proprietary blend of phytosterols is well-founded, and Red Yeast Rice is a potent ingredient, though its monacolin K content is undisclosed.
The Good
Contains well-researched ingredients for cholesterol management (Phytosterols, Red Yeast Rice).
Phytosterol Proprietary Blend is adequately dosed for effective cholesterol reduction.
Uses a 'no-flush' form of niacin (Inositol Hexanicotinate) to minimize common niacin side effects.
The Bad
Monacolin K content of Red Yeast Rice is undisclosed, making its true potency and safety profile uncertain.
Niacin and Inositol Hexanicotinate dosages are potentially too low to exert significant clinical benefits on cholesterol.
Octacosanol has limited evidence to support its claims for lipid management.
