Astaxanthin plus berberine: a nutraceutical strategy for replicating the benefits of a metformin/fibrate regimen in metabolic syndrome

A regimen of berberine/red yeast rice/astaxanthin might constitute a safe and usually well-tolerated strategy for optimising lipid profiles in patients in whom triglycerides and LDL cholesterol are both elevated, and HDL cholesterol depressed.
Meta-analysis confirms the utility of krill oil supplementation for improving serum lipid profile.Its efficacy with respect to modulating serum lipids, glucose and C reactive protein appears to be superior to that of fish oil.
