Treatment options
 |
| Pharmaceuticals: statins reduce cholesterol, require a doctor’s prescription, and are associated with many side effects. Other drugs include fibrates, bile acid sequestrants and niacin sustained release tablets, and drugs such as ezetimibe that block the absorption of cholesterol found in the foods we eat. |
| Life style change: diet and exercise seem obvious, but they can be difficult to maintain over the long term and may produce limited benefit. |
| Natural dietary supplements: these include soluble fibers, and plant sterols/stanols, and HEP-40. While many other products claim to reduce LDL-C (bad cholesterol), they have not proven their efficacy with double-blind, placebo controlled studies. Among the clinically proven natural products available, HEP-40 is the most effective vs. placebo in reducing LDL-C. It is the product most easily taken as a daily supplement, rather than in foods such as margarines, yogurts and breakfast cereals. |
