13 Aug 2019 --- Palmiwon, a fruit extract of the Forsythia suspensa flowering plant, has been found to alleviate dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid levels), a commonly observed condition in menopausal women. The popular Eastern remedy is spotlighted in a study by the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine, wherein researchers induced menopause in rats by excising ovaries and caused dyslipidemia through a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet. The researchers now recommend human supplementation with the extract for the effective prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases caused by dyslipidemia during menopause.
