What is a good way to lower your cholesterol in addition to your diet? Does Red rice or anything else help lower it? I am using natures made cholestoff but it isn't coming down as well as I would like.

exercising?
btw, natures made is a crappy grocery store brand i think? youde do good to stay away from brands like that
2 of these a day, for 3 months... then get it checked again

a. Garlic, look for ones with:
>> Alliin - at least 10mg/tablet with
>> Allicin potential of 4 mg /tablet
good brand is Garlinase (Enzymatic Therapy). no need to worry about the odor here.
Be careful if you're taking Aspirin, or other anticoagulant or some antihypertensive medications while on it. The same thing with blood glucose drugs.
b. Guggulsterones 25 - 75 mg or Gugulipid. NOT FOR LONG TERM USE, might want to keep off for a while then resume intake. Syntrax, Life Extension Cardiovascular Formula , Source Naturals
c. Psyllium Husk fiber - 15-30g /day Colonix, blessed herbs

Fish oil will help a lot.
Also, lots of fiber, up to 80 grams a day.

Bowl of 100% oatmeal everyday, preferrable before noon so you get the benefits of its extended blood sugar lowering effects, too. I'd add protein powder to the oatmeal after it's cooked, and I would not use milk, including soy milk.

great recomendations... although 80 gms of fiber a day is enough to make most people randomly crap their pants throughout the day. if you use supplemental fiber, use a mixed soluble/insoluble complex
oatmeal + chocolate whey = MMMMM [thumb]
