topicRed Ginseng Fatigue Randomized Trial
claim1 2 3 Hyperlipidemia, a prevalent metabolic disorder characterized by elevated serum lipids including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), alongside reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), is a primary driver of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases [].
