Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I understand your concern.
You say to have high cholesterol. Can you please send any test report to evaluate this high level myself?
Statins are the drugs of choice to reduce high cholesterol levels. However, therapeutic diet and lifestyle changes are crucial in achieving this purpose.
Next, there are some herbs that can be used more to lower high cholesterol either in their natural form or as supplement:
- grapefruit
- red yeast rice
- flaxseed oil
- fish oil supplement
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other query.
