Summary
Our previous study has found that oil palm phenolics (OPP) supplementation at 9 grams per day
is safe for consumption. An interesting observation was reported where the consumption of OPP
showed significantly lower total and LDL cholesterol compared to the control group. There is
no clinical evidence as yet on the optimum dosage of OPP supplementation in improving fasting
lipid profile. We hypothesize that in a clinical study, OPP supplemented participants will
elicit a reduction in total and LDL cholesterol while maintaining safety and tolerability.
