It works by reducing the levels of “bad” cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL) and triglycerides in the blood while increasing the levels of “good” cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein or HDL). This helps in lowering the risk of heart disease and stroke by preventing the buildup of plaque in the arteries.
