Hello,
Yes, it is all about cholesterol and triglycerides levels. You can take only if your figures are really high. Otherwise, you can take periodically, but never during hot days. If you leave in tropical country, should discuss with your doctor for the most appropriate time to use it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
