Abstract: Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by high blood cholesterol levels. Currently, the drugs available on the market to treat hypercholesterolemia show adverse side effects, related to their chronic use. Consequently, there is an increased search effort for alternatives and complementary strategies, specifically supplements based on natural products. Moreover, various studies suggest that supplements with high antioxidant activity have a vital role in the prevention of various diseases. In this work, an aqueous avocado extract was prepared and characterized to assess its potential in hypercholesterolemia. Also, a delivery nanosystem using albumin nanoparticles was developed to use this extract as a food supplement.
