Micronutrients & recovery
Regular strawberry consumption (approx. 500g fresh or equivalent extract) improves lipid profiles by reducing LDL and triglycerides, and enhances antioxidant status in healthy and hypertensive populations.
Eat 500g of strawberries daily (roughly 3-4 cups of fresh berries) to support heart health. This dose has been shown to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while boosting your body's natural antioxidant defenses within a month.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
one month of strawberry supplementation not only reduces total cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride levels in plasma compared with baseline, but also decreases serum malondialdehyde, urinary 8-hydroxy-2' -deoxyguanosine and isoprostanes concentrations.
Why this rating
Supported by multiple human studies (n=23, n=12, n=18) showing consistent lipid and antioxidant improvements.
