Does Natto Help Reduce Cholesterol?

Dear Doctors, is Latuda a MAOI drug. I started my son on NattoMax 2000 fu approximately a month ago because it brought down my blood pressure to a normal level of 120/72 and I read that Natto also helps with cholesterol. My son s cholesterol level has risen as a result of taking Latuda. However I just read that Natto has tyramine which has a negative interaction with Natto. Natto is fermented soy beans and I read that tyramine is in soy. Please help . thanks

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I would say that the Mono amine oxidation inhibitor drug would not reduce the cholesterol but of course would reduce the appetite, better way to reduce the cholesterol is exercise and cut down high calorie diet, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
