Mode of Action LIPANTHYL 300mg

Fenofibrate activates PPARα receptors which regulate lipid metabolism, promoting increased oxidation of fatty acids and removal of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from plasma. This leads to lowered triglyceride levels and increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

• Target: PPARα in liver and muscle
• Effect: Enhanced lipolysis and elimination of triglycerides
• Outcome: Improved lipid profile with reduced cardiovascular risk
