My cholesterol was around 263 when my specialist freaked out about it.
I did research and read about apple pectin, which is a soluble fiber.
I took one capsule of 750 mg for four to six months on an empty stomach in the afternoons with a large glass of water.
Six months later, my cholesterol was down significantly, and my doctor was rather surprised. The only reason I didn't take more was that my stomach is delicate and I've had problems with other supplements before.
Now I'm down to 224 and my new doctor freaked out about it. I went back to apple pectin again, and we're re-testing in six months.
My triglycerides were consistently in the high 100s and I heard at a health seminar that green tea reduces them.
I started to drink 2 cups of green tea decaf most days (can't do caffeine) and the last two times my triglycerides were 84 and 85.
They have never been so low. Keep in mind that psyllium is also a soluble fiber and any powdered supplement you can buy in the stores that contain it will do the same thing. I prefer the capsules because I can't stomach the sweet flavor of the powders. Good luck, people!
