It reduces the bad cholesterol (also known as low-density lipoproteins or LDL), triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (also known as high-density lipoproteins or HDL). On the other hand, Tonact Forte Tablet contains nicotinic acid, which is a form of vitamin B that further increases good cholesterol levels (HDL).
