✅ Enhances Cholesterol & Lipid Metabolism

Participants taking both saw a 16 mg/dL drop in LDL cholesterol and reduced triglycerides post-meal—far outperforming berberine alone.

✅ Boosts Gut Microbiome & Reduces Inflammation

The combo therapy led to meaningful shifts in beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium breve while reducing endotoxins and gut-based inflammation.
