What does it do?

Safflower oil is a plant oil extracted from safflower seeds and is rich in unsaturated fatty acids. It is mainly used in pharmaceuticals to help regulate blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, supporting cardiovascular health.

The unsaturated fatty acids in safflower oil help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. As a result, it helps reduce fat deposits in blood vessels and slows the progression of atherosclerosis.
