Plant Sterols and Stanols: Plant sterols and stanols are compounds found in plants that can help block the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines. They are often found in fortified foods or available as supplements. Consuming these compounds may modestly lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 supplements containing EPA and DHA have been studied for their potential benefits in heart health. They might help reduce triglyceride levels and have a modest effect on lowering LDL cholesterol. However, their impact on overall cholesterol levels may vary among individuals.
Red Yeast Rice: Red yeast rice contains compounds similar to statin medications and might help lower LDL cholesterol levels. It contains monacolin K, which is similar to the active ingredient in some statin drugs. However, the use of red yeast rice should be monitored closely, as it can have similar side effects to statins.
Probiotics: Some research suggests that certain probiotic strains might have a modest effect on cholesterol levels, particularly in individuals with mild to moderately elevated cholesterol. Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Bifidobacterium longum are among the strains studied for their potential benefits in managing cholesterol. However, more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
