PRODUCTS AND METHODS USING SOY PEPTIDES TO LOWER TOTAL AND LDL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS

摘要

Controlled studies demonstrate that products and related methods using soy related peptides lower total and LDL cholesterol levels in individuals. In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a product containing an effective amount of lunasin peptides that lowers cholesterol levels in an individual that consumes the lunasin peptides is provided. In another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a composition containing an effective amount of lunasin peptides or lunasin peptide derivatives and one or more enzyme inhibitors is provided. In a related exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for lowering or reducing cholesterol levels in an individual is provided where a product containing an effective amount of lunasin peptides to an individual is provided and a claim that the product lowers or reduces cholesterol, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol or lipid levels in an individual that consumes the composition is made.
