Natural Remedies for High Cholesterol

We understand you would rather treat your cholesterol problem naturally. Indeed that is an excellent approach.

However, do keep in mind that if after a period of time, natural supplements are unable to bring your cholesterol levels down to an acceptable level, you many need to go on a prescription cholesterol-lowering medication.

In fact, natural supplements can be used along with prescription cholesterol-lowering medications for even greater benefits.

Or, by using two or more natural remedies to lower cholesterol levels, you might be able to use a lower dose of your prescription medications. Of course, discuss this with your doctor first is this is your plan.

Do not discount the possibility of needing to use prescription medication, especially after you have given lifestyle and natural solutions a good trial run.
