Hyperlipidaemia is a condition characterised by high levels of certain lipids in the blood. The cause of hyperlipidaemia is a dysfunctional metabolism centreing on insulin resistance and fatty liver disease. The consequences of hyperlipidaemia are the development of cardiovascular disease. Evidence suggests that certain nutrients may be beneficial at reducing the levels of blood lipids in cases of metabolic dysfunction and thus treating hyperlipidaemia, thereby also lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. For example, in one study, 1 gram per day L-lysine, 50 mg per day vitamin B6 and 1 gram per day carnitine were administered to male patients with hyperlipidaemia for 12 weeks, The results of the study showed that the blood lipid levels of the subjects were significantly reduced compared to control patients who received a placebo. Therefore combination therapy, using L-lysine, vitamin B6 and carnitine may have significant health benefits and may protect males from cardiovascular disease.
