My cholseterol was 260 { runs in my family] and my doctor wanted to immediately put me on statins. I refused becasue I wanted to try diet/herbal remedies. I have been taking 20mg of Policonsal for about 4 weeks now and in another month I will then retest my cholesterol and see if it helped. Has this supllement helped anyone else lower there cholesterol and if so how much were you taking a day? Is there 1 or 2 other supplements that definitely lower cholesterol ? If so, what are they...Ive tried taking garlic but it upsets my stomach horribly. Ive heard that Garlique brand garlic is less harsh on the stomach but its quite expensive in cost.
