Algae producer Health Enhancement Products Inc. (HEPI), Scottsdale, AZ, was included in research conducted by a team at Wayne State University, which analyzed its product ProAlgaZyme on cholesterol in hamsters. The article was published in the Journal of Nutrition & Dietary Supplements (Volume 2012:4), an international, peer-reviewed journal focused on academic research.
"Our data suggests that dietary intake of the algal extract ProAlgaZyme and its specific sub-fractions result in an improved cholesterol distribution in hamsters, primarily via its effects on multiple gene targets in the HDL (or reverse cholesterol transport) pathway,” explained Dr. Smiti Gupta, associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Science at Wayne State University. “Thus the potential for ProAlgaZyme to raise HDL, i.e. the “good” cholesterol, warrants further investigation."
