Brief Summary

In summary, perilla seed oil, particularly when combined with statin therapy, is promising for improving lipid profiles and might offer liver protection. While its omega-3 content and beneficial compounds are valuable, further research, including long-term studies, is needed to fully validate its clinical benefits in treating cardiovascular disease and related concerns.
