Clinical Management
of Hypercholesterolemia
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.
