Are you looking for a way to clobber high cholesterolbut prefer to steer clear of drugs? You might consider the nutrient policosanol, which studies prove is an effective way to reduce high LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
In one study, participants received 20 or 40 mg per day of policosanol or a placebo for six months. Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol decreased significantly and HDL cholesterol increased in both groups receiving policosanol. None of the cholesterol readings changed in participants who took a placebo.
And whats even better is neither group reported any negative side effects from taking policosanol. This is a major difference with statin drug users who report side effects ranging from fatigue and stomach cramps to nerve damage and memory loss!
