Dietary soluble fiber enhancement, with commercial dietary supplementation is proving to be a very effective all natural approach to cholesterol lowering. In a recent trial examining the effects of dietary soluble fiber supplementation, total serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol fell on average by (-14.9%) and (-17.9%) respectively, while HDL cholesterol increased (+30.1%). Serum triglycerides decreased (-30.7%) and the cardiovascular risk ratio (LDL/HDL) fell by (-36%). Total cholesterol reduction was seen as low as (-45%) with LDL decreasing as low as (-59%) and HDL increasing as high as (+48%). Soluble fiber supplementation is a safe, effective, all natural approach to cholesterol lowering and can be used as first line therapy or in conjunction with Reductase inhibitors replacing the bile acid sequestrants.
