Lipid Results
Physician's Signature
Overview
Lipid Results contains several ingredients with established efficacy in lipid management. However, the overall effectiveness is compromised by the use of high doses of Niacin, which can lead to insulin resistance, and the varied efficacy and safety concerns associated with Red Yeast Rice. The product's dual dosing of Niacin (Niacin and Inositol Hexanicotinate) at potentially high cumulative levels raises concerns about side effects and diminished long-term benefits.
The Good
Contains established lipid-lowering ingredients such as Niacin and Red Yeast Rice.
Includes additional ingredients (Garlic, Fenugreek, Guggul Gum Extract) with some evidence for cardiovascular and metabolic support.
Effort to include a 'no-flush' niacin form (Inositol Hexanicotinate) alongside standard Niacin, although the combined dose is still high.
The Bad
Extremely high dosage of Niacin (400mg Niacin and 500mg Inositol Hexanicotinate daily) that significantly increases the risk of adverse effects like insulin resistance, flushing, and liver toxicity.
Red Yeast Rice acts as a natural statin, potentially leading to statin-like side effects (rhabdomyolysis, hepatitis) without medical supervision or clear monacolin K content.
Significant risk of drug interactions with prescribed lipid-lowering medications due to overlapping mechanisms of action from Niacin and Red Yeast Rice.
Is it for you?
