 The study found that two types of plant extracts, one derived from yellow mustard seeds and another from small cardamom seeds, contain high concentrations of melatonin and one 8-signal, two powerful antioxidants. The extracts also showed strong synergies between the two compounds, resulting in higher efficacy than either alone. Additionally, the extracts had potent anti-hypercholesterole properties, reducing serum total cholesterol levels in rats by up to 50%. Furthermore, the extracts were shown to inhibit the enzyme responsible for producing cholesterol, suggesting they may be effective in treating hypercholesterole.
