FBS reduced by 6.89 mg/dL
Based on limited meta-analysis (n=12) showing improved skin hydration. Oral bioavailability is questionable and most dermatological studies used topical/injectable forms. Low molecular weight forms may have better absorption.
Based on multiple meta-analyses showing 8.55 mg/dL LDL reduction and 0.278 mmol/L reduction. Effect appears dose-dependent with plateau around 10g. Must take with adequate water.
