Hypercholesterolaemia

Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of AKM Lab-01 in subjects with hypercholesterolemia. This study will be conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, eligible hypercholesterolemic participants were administered daily oral doses of either AKM Lab-01 or a placebo. Baseline clinical parameters, blood samples, and stool specimens were collected before and after the intervention for comparative analysis.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTProbiotic

Subjects receive AKM Lab-01 Enteric-coated once daily by oral, 34B TFU/day , within half an hour after breakfast for 3 months.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTPlacebo

Subjects receive placebo once daily by oral, one capsule/day, within half an hour after breakfast for 3 months.

Have controlled of blood lipids solely through lifestyle interventions (diet and exercise) for at least 1 month prior to the screening period; 6. People must possess communication and cognitive abilities to adhere to long-term medication, and fully understand the nature, significance, potential benefits, inconveniences, and risks of the study before participation; 7.
