This Beautiful Flower Could be Your Answer to Cholesterol

If you’re struggling to lower your cholesterol, this beautiful flower, taken as a herb, could be the answer for you.

Improving your cholesterol could be a key to improving your heart health and improving your life.

Saffron is emerging as a remarkably powerful and versatile herb. It has been shown to benefit Alzheimer’s, depression, anxiety, insomnia, OCD, ADHD, perimenopause, female sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, diabetes and much more. Research has also suggested that saffron can help strokes and heart health.

This new double-blind study put saffron to the test for cholesterol. The study included 42 people with problems with at least two of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol or triglycerides. Half of them were given 30mg of saffron petal extract, and half were given a placebo.

After 4 weeks, the people in the placebo group had no improvement. But people in the saffron group had significantly reduced total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. They also had significantly greater reduction of urea and the inflammatory marker c-reactive protein.

This study shows that taking saffron supplements improves cholesterol and may help in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
