Impact of Dietary Supplementation and Nutritional Counselling on Lipid Profile in Subjects with Dyslipidemia

Background: Dyslipidaemia is widely recognized as a major risk factor for development of cardiovascular diseases. In India, it affects approximately ۲۵-۳۰% of the urban and ۱۵-۲۰% of the rural population. Among the various strategies available to manage this condition, dietary intervention plays an indispensable role. With this in mind, the present study was undertaken to assess the impact of a specially developed mixture enriched with nutraceuticals, alongside tailored nutritional counselling, on individuals diagnosed with dyslipidemia.Methods: A nutraceutical-enriched mixture was formulated and standardized for the study. In addition, nutritional visual aids including standardized dietary plans were developed to support dietary modification. Using these aids, tailored nutritional counselling was provided for participants to assist them individually in managing dyslipidemia. The study involved two equal groups including an experimental group (n=۳۰) and a control group (n=۳۰). The experimental group received the developed nutraceutical-enriched mixture in combination with tailored nutritional counselling over a period of six months.Results: The nutritional intervention involving the developed nutraceutical-enriched mixture and tailored nutritional counselling led to a highly significant improvement in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels among the subjects.Conclusion: The combination of a nutraceutical-enriched mixture and tailored nutritional counselling was illustrated to be effective in managing dyslipidaemia among the study subjects.
