How can I reduce the level of Cholestrol in Ayurveda and herbs? Many herbs, supplements, etc. that circulate around the Internet, have not been scientifically proven to be both safe and effective in achieving the goal. As some point, polycosinol-sp.? was thought to help reduce cholesterol and has been well refuted.
You need to double-blind studies against placebo because before you know any drug, herb, or supplement security.
Some experts say cholesterol, you can lower by about 10% by changing your eating habits and exercise. Of course, it would also depend on how much you all have been eating in the first place.
Sometimes, herbs and supplements can have the same dangerous side effects that drugs like real for the same reasons.
As recent Alli - the weight loss drug, buy on the counter, was placed on the list of FDA monitoring for dangerous side effects, than to be in the case of Alli - liver failure.
The worst thing our country has ever for the safety of its inhabitants, was to regulate the vitamin, supplement and herb industry.
This is why you see many substances are being recalled for dangerous side effects - like the 50 drugs + weight loss that have been recently removed.
Niacin in the form of free time has also been tried, but again, too much niacin can have the same side effect of liver problems such as statins. I'll try my luck with something like Lipitor or Zocor that has been tested and used in the U.S. for a very long time.
