HIDE SMILES / InChI
Hexacyclonic Acid (aka gevilon) has been clinically demonstrated to produce hypolipidemic effects. It has been investigated as a treatment for coronary heart disease, and hypertensive disease with severe lipid metabolic disturbances. Gevilon has been found to have a hypolipidemic effect in reducing the levels of total cholesterol, beta-cholesterol, triglycerides, increasing alpha-cholesterol levels and normalizing the atherogenicity coefficient; especially in patients with Type IIb dyslipoproteinemia.

Sample Use Guides

Patients with hyperlipoproteinemia were divided according to hyperlipoproteinemia type IIA, IIB, and IV. After one month of isocaloric diet, the patients were given a single night gevilon dose of 900 mg for a period of 3 months. In all groups increased levels of cholesterol, beta-lipoproteins and triglycerides were significantly reduced after 3 months of gevilon treatment. In all patients, the HDL/LDL ratio increased close to normal values.
