Metabolic Syndrome
Supplements studied for metabolic syndrome.
Overview
Multiple supplements show medium-strength evidence for metabolic syndrome across 84 studies. Vitamin B3 (Niacin) at about 2 g daily for four months may improve cholesterol and triglycerides but not post-meal blood sugar. Inositol may improve lipids, blood pressure, and insulin resistance over a year on a low-calorie diet.
Magnesium intake is linked with 27% to 31% lower metabolic syndrome risk in healthy adults. Berberine at 500 mg three times daily may reduce weight, blood pressure, and blood fats. L-Carnitine results are mixed across small trials. The heatmap and evidence reviews below provide a fuller comparison.
