Supplementation with Ginseng, Lilii Bulbus, and Poria induces alterations in the serum metabolic profile of healthy adults

< 0.0001). Nine metabolites were significantly decreased in the serum samples from the after-GLP group compared with the before-GLP group, while five metabolites were significantly increased. These metabolites could be critical components associated with the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hypolipidemic activities of GLP, indicating the potential complementary role of GLP supplements in the primary prevention of dysfunctional metabolism caused by potential diseases such as cardiovascular disease. This study provides a valuable reference for cardiovascular health protection and disease prevention.
