🌿 Cholesterol Support

Nutritional Support for Healthy Lipid Balance and Heart Health

Supporting cholesterol naturally means focusing on lifestyle first — with targeted supplements that may help maintain healthy lipid levels. While supplements aren’t a substitute for medication when prescribed, they can play a complementary role in your cardiovascular wellness plan.

Disclaimer: Supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement routine, especially if you are on cholesterol-lowering medications.

💪 Key Nutrients & Supplements That May Help Support Healthy Cholesterol

Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA & DHA)

May help lower triglycerides and support a healthy HDL to LDL ratio. Fish oil or algae-based options are ideal for heart support.

Red Yeast Rice

Naturally contains monacolins that help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Use standardized, quality-controlled products, and monitor for interactions.

Plant Sterols & Stanols

Compete with cholesterol for absorption in the gut, helping reduce LDL cholesterol levels when taken with meals.

Niacin (Vitamin B3)

In high doses (under medical supervision), niacin can help increase HDL and lower LDL and triglycerides.

CoQ10

Supports energy production in the heart and is often used alongside statin medications to reduce fatigue or muscle discomfort.

Fiber (Soluble types like psyllium or oat bran)

Binds to cholesterol in the digestive tract and helps support elimination through the gut.

💡 Did You Know?
Red yeast rice is one of the most researched natural ingredients for cholesterol — but it may also reduce your body’s CoQ10 levels. That’s why many cardiologists recommend taking CoQ10 alongside it.
