Tim N. Ziegenfuss, Ph.D., Ronald W. Mendel, Ph.D., and Jennifer E. Hofheins, M.S., R.D. Cholesterol-lowering effects of LipidShield™. Ohio Research Group. Wadsworth, Ohio 44281, USA. tim@ohioresearchgroup.com
Objective:
The purpose of this placebo-controlled, double-blind study was to determine the effect of supplementation with a proprietary cholesterol-lowering formula (LipidShield™) on changes in lipid profiles.
Methods:
After giving informed consent and being cleared for participation by passing a screening physical, 30 men and women (mean ± SD age, weight, total cholesterol: 39.6 ± 5.8 y, 84.49 ± 16.2 kg, 226 ± 31 mg/dl) were matched according to gender and then randomly assigned to receive either (LipidShield™, LS) or a placebo (P). Following baseline testing, all groups underwent eight weeks of daily supplementation per recommendation by the manufacturer. Blood samples were obtained at baseline, and after 4-weeks (day 28) and 8-weeks (day 56) of supplementation. Subjects were required to maintain their normal dietary and exercise patterns during the study. Data were analyzed via two-way, repeated measures ANOVA and (where necessary) Newman-Keuls post-hoc tests. Statistical significance was accepted at p=0.05.
Results:
Total cholesterol decreased in LS from pre to mid (-8.8%; 234.1 ± 34.1 [baseline] to 215.2 ± 35.0 mg/dl [day 28], p<0.0009) and pre to post (-17.3%; 234.1 ± 34.1 [baseline] to 199.6 ± 34.9 mg/dl [day 56], p<0.0001), whereas cholesterol increased from pre to post in P (+6.9%; 218.4 ± 26.4 [baseline] to 234.6 ± 26.8 mg/dl [day 56], p<0.004). LDL-cholesterol decreased from pre to mid (-13.5%; 145.7 ± 29.3 [baseline] to 126.1 ± 28.6 mg/dl [day 28], p<0.001) and pre to post (-16.9%; 145.7 ± 29.3 [baseline] to 121.1 ± 31.1 mg/dl [day 56], p<0.0002) in LS, whereas no changes were noted in P. VLDL-cholesterol tended to decrease in LS from pre to post (-23.6%; 33.9 ± 14.5 [baseline] to 25.9 ± 12.6 mg/dl [day 56], p<0.065). Triacylglycerol (TAG) decreased in LS from pre to post testing (-46.9%; 169.5 ± 72.1 [baseline] to 115.3 ± 42.4 mg/dl [day 56], p<0.009), whereas no changes were noted in P. No changes in HDL-cholesterol, glucose, BUN, creatinine, BUN:creatinine ratio, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, or alanine aminotransferase were noted in either group.
Conclusions:
Within the framework of the current experimental design, these preliminary data indicate that eight weeks of LipidShield™ ingestion significantly decreases and improves several aspects of blood lipids (e.g., total cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides) in otherwise healthy, hypercholesterolemic subjects. Based on the lack of changes in standard clinical markers of hepato-renal function, the safety profile of LipidShield™ appears to be acceptable, at least during eight weeks of continuous use. Future research is warranted to confirm and refine these results in a larger sample size, as well as determine the mechanisms responsible for the noted improvements.

A series of 3-way ANOVAs (group x gender x time) were run to determine if any gender effects were present in the data. No 3-way interactions were found, thus the remaining analyses are 2-way (group x time) ANOVAs. When a significant interaction was found, Newman-Keuls post-hoc tests were used as a discriminatory follow-up.

Interpretation:
No significant differences between groups over time were noted for this variable (body weight).

Interpretation:
Although the p-value for the ANOVA was significant (p<0.03 – see top of graph), post-hoc testing only revealed a trend (p<0.065) for a decrease in VLDL in group Y (LipidShield) from pre to post testing.

No significant differences between groups over time were noted for this variable (glucose).

Interpretation:
No significant differences between groups over time were noted for this variable (B/C ratio).
