Eating red koji lowers blood lipids? Medical: The effect is not significant. "Don't bury your head and eat hard"There are also many people in Taiwan taking red koji blood lipid-lowering health products. Wang Mingyuan, deputy spokesperson and pharmacist at the Pharmacy Association, once visited and said that medical research has found that the relevant ingredients are similar to those of blood lipid-lowering drugs. It should be noted that red koji health foods Do not take it together with blood lipid-lowering drugs and fish oil, because blood lipid-lowering drugs and fish oil health foods are all rewarded by the liver.

Many health foods on the market are listed as the list of lowering blood lipids, but the actual effect is unknown. People are reminded to use health foods for 1 to 2 months after using health foods for 1 to 2 months to check to confirm whether the reduction of LDL reaches the expected standard, and then decide whether to use them for a long time. It is recommended that the public choose "Don't bury the head and eat hard."

Choose health foods 3 ways to protect yourselfAs for how consumers choose qualified products? Food safety nutritionist Liao Xinjun suggested that consumers can use the following three methods to understand whether the health food they buy is fully equipped with food security:
1. Pay attention to whether the product has a "public" inspection report: the inspection report is best to come from a fair third party inspection agency, such as SGS (Taiwan Inspection Technology), intertek (national public certificate), SuperLab (Taiwan Inspection and US Inspection), etc., and the report is published in the store or on the product official website for quick inquiries.
2. Pay attention to whether the report date is updated: Each report will mark the date of its delivery. If the manufacturer's report date has expired, it means that a certain batch of production may have had an inspection in the past, but may not necessarily have an inspection in the future, so the safety will also be reduced.
3. Pay attention to whether the inspection items are complete: As for nutritional foods, common inspection items include plasticizers, microorganisms, heavy metals, agricultural medicines, melamine, etc. Among them, plasticizers and microorganisms are items that most products need to be tested. If the product contains plant ingredients, heavy metals and agricultural medicines need to be tested. If the product contains milk powder ingredients, it is best to be tested for melamine.. Some manufacturers only examine one of them and publicize the inspection, but most consumers are not easy to distinguish. Only when manufacturers independently inspect the correct items will they be guaranteed.
Liao Xinjun emphasized that in terms of nutritional supplementation, we should avoid stepping on the mine. In addition to paying attention to whether the manufacturer has made independent control, choose a brand with good reputation and a balanced diet. Do not overdose any food. This is the most useful way to protect yourself in food safety incidents.
