2019 ESC/EAS Guidelines for the management of dyslipidaemias

These guidelines bring together research and expert advice on dyslipidaemias, meaning unhealthy levels of fats in the blood. They explain how doctors should estimate a person’s risk of heart attack or stroke and set treatment goals. LDL cholesterol, often called bad cholesterol, is usually lowered first through healthier eating, exercise, and medicines such as statins when needed. The advice is aimed at adults, especially those with heart disease, diabetes, or a high risk of future heart problems.

What this means for you: This is medical guidance, not a trial of a supplement or one specific product. It supports checking your overall heart risk and discussing cholesterol treatment with a clinician rather than buying a cholesterol-lowering product on your own.
