En et al., (2024). Effect of Sacha Inchi oil on human blood pressure and lipid profile: A preliminary study in Malaysia. Journal Gizi Dan Pangan, 19(1), 61–68. https://doi.org/10.25182/jgp.2024.19.1.61-68
Result: A significant reduction in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) levels following LinoGreen Sacha Inchi Oil 530mg supplementation (2 softgels daily) (p<0.05). However, there were no notable improvements in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Total Cholesterol (TC), Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C), High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C), and Triglycerides (TG) after the 2-month supplementation.
Conclusion: The daily supplementation of 2 softgels of SIO (1,060 mg) for 2 months demonstrated a beneficial effect on blood pressure, particularly in reducing SBP. These findings serve as preliminary data for future research into the potential health benefits of SIO in the Malaysian population.
