How much does Benecol® affect levels of LDL cholesterol?
Over 40 studies have been published to date in scientific journals, such as the New England Journal of Medicine and Circulation, documenting the excellent effectiveness and safety profile of the Benecol® ingredient. These studies show that Benecol® reduces LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol levels by up to 15%, but has no effect on levels of ‘good’ HDL cholesterol.
