Algae extract could be used as a key to regulate cardiac disease. Scientists from Wayne State University have found that ProAlgaZyme (algae extracts) increases the good cholesterol levels, which in turn helps cure cardiac disease. They discovered this while studying a group of Hypercholesterolemic hamsters. The study found that ProAlgaZyme increases good cholesterol or high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The HDL lowers the bad cholesterol and it carries the harmful cholesterol out of the arterial wall, which in turn helps cure cardiac disease. "The cholesterol mechanism is crucial to heart disease," said Smiti Gupta, assistant professor in the department of nutrition and food science at the Wayne State University, in a statement. "Very few agents increase good cholesterol, but we found that this algae extract does. The ratio of total to HDL cholesterol improved significantly. This result, if replicated in humans, would be consistent with a decreased risk of heart disease."
