High Cholesterol (Hypercholesterolemia)
Supplements studied for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia).
Overview
High cholesterol has strong supplement evidence in several areas (21 supplements, 92 studies). Beta-Glucan leads with high effect size, high evidence, medium trust, WA 76 (19 studies), with LDL and total cholesterol reductions requiring at least 3 g daily. Flaxseed (WA 68; medium effect size, very high evidence, medium trust; 20 studies), Avocado, Oleic Acid, and Magnesium also carry medium ratings and may lower LDL or total cholesterol, though effects vary by product and population.
HDL changes are less consistent across supplements. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below for dose-specific and comparative detail.
