Abstract

The authors take in consideration the beneficial metabolic effect of a nutraceuticals combination (monocolin K, yeasted red rice, polyphenolic extract of annurca apple and berberine) on acquired hypercholesterolemia. They take in consideration the possible use of this compound on supporting the immune system as suggested by the acknowledge of the last epidemic behaviour  of the COVID-19 between January 2020 up to date.
