Obesity is one of the most common health problems and this disorder is associated with
abnormal levels of blood lipids (hyperlipidemia) and lipoproteins (hyperlipoproteinemia). In
hyperlipidemic conditions, the levels of lipids and cholesterol elevated in the blood and it is a
symptom of different disorders of lipoprotein metabolism.
When abnormally high levels of lipids (fatty substances) are found in the blood, this
condition is known as hyperlipidemia. Obesity is also related to this disorder. Hypolipidemic
drugs are extensively used to prevent such disorders, but these drugs have other adverse
effects. In India about 150 medicinal plants have been used as herbal drugs against these
disorders. We focused cholestrin granules which have lipid lowering activities.
