I am trying to lower my cholesterol. Will Soya Lecithin help?

Question

to reduce cholesterol

Answer 1

Possibly but you'd be better off spending your money on fresh fruit, vegetables and porridge oats which all contain soluble fibre which helps in reducing cholesterol and limit you intake of eggs to about 2 max. per week or don't eat the yolks.

Answer 2

I've voted in favour of quite a few answers given already...many things will hopefully help reduce your cholesterol(I'm trying to get mine down due to a medical condition)but I'm 10+(it should be 3.5 ish at it's lowest)

Porridge Oats, Beetroot, Onion, Garlic, Fruit and Veg, Green Tea and so on...lots of things you can incorporate into your diet. Lecithin can be used and will as far as I can see do no harm. Everything in moderation and a as wide a variety as possible of food hopefully will mean you can do it naturally.

Answer 8

It helps some people. But as a general matter, you don't need supplements to lower cholesterol. You just need to eat more green vegetables and fish.
