Apolipoprotein B, or ApoB for short, is a protein involved in lipid metabolism and is a robust predictor of cardiovascular disease risk. Healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as following a Mediterranean diet, exercising, and taking supplements like zinc and omega-3 fatty acids, may reduce ApoB levels.
