Need more information on nutritional supplements.

Hi everyone, I have been considering of taking nutritional supplements that could help me in reducing my cholesterol levels. The fact is that I need to maintain my health and for that I need to take care of certain issues. I have heard about blue green algae being a good supplement for controlling the cholesterol level! I need your suggestions on this and also - Do you consider for this being a good supplement???

olive oil and oatmeal have been shown to control hdl and ldl levels. i believe that these could be cheaper alternatives, don't know though since i've never looked up the algae. consuming more soluble fiber foods also helps

Yea I was going to say lots of fiber from veggies (yea I am a hypocrit on this one), whole wheat foods, and maybe some psylium husk fiber supplement (equate makes a cheap one at any store)

I think niacin will probably do more for you than just about anything else. Fish oil and Vitamin D might be good choices as well. You can do some research on pubmed.gov to about how these things interact with cholesterol .... Good luck!

I think that the way you are referring to that as a supplement………it can be also quoted as “organic food”. There is increasing consciousness about the intake of organic foods and I think that it is a good way to keep ourselves healthy. I have my cousin using bluegreenfoods.com blue green algae products] that are really helping him in his various treatments. I think that they are a good nutritional supplement as they contain small amounts of protein, vitamins (including C, E, and folate), beta carotene, and some minerals. I think that this will be a good choice for you.

Kenneth (or George on Musclemayhem),

MY POST FROM MUSCLEMAYHEM:
First suggestion is to speak to a cardiologist and ask for a recommendation for a properly licensed / certified dietician or nutritionist in your area. Diet and Exercise will be most important.

I'd consider red yeast rice extract, niacin, fish oil and other sources of omega-3 fatty acids, sesamin, and possibly garlic as well, as far as supplements.
