Summary

This two-year observational study will be conducted at the outpatient clinic of the
 Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Taoyuan Chang Gung Hospital from February 26,
 2024 to December 31, 2025. This study will enroll 35~55 year-old male patients who are
 expected to take LipoCol Forte Capsules for primary prevention of hypercholesterolemia. The
 investigators will collect the TCM constitution questionnaires from patients before taking
 LipoCol Forte Capsules and every three months after taking the medicine. At the same time,
 blood will be drawn to detect glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood sugar, insulin, lipids
 profile, liver and kidney function, creatine kinase, predictive parameters of atherosclerotic
 cardiovascular disease, and plasma bile acids, etc. Fecal samples will also be collected to
 analyze the intestinal microbiota and fecal bile acid composition. This study will evaluate
 the efficacy, durability and safety of LipoCol Forte capsules in the primary prevention of
 hypercholesterolemia in patients with different constitutions, as well as whether it can
 reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and its influence on bile acid metabolism and
 intestinal microbiota.
