I've never had high cholesterol, I'm fortunate for that and have been reassured that I don't have plaque build up in the arteries.

"widgeon13" - You have to be careful with potential negative interactions with Pharmaceutical medication and herbal supplements. With that said, I would ask your Doctor is combining any from the list would be benifical to your condition. He might be biased against the 'Supplement Industry' and choose to adhere to Pharmaceutical medication instead.
Many of my customers do combine herbal remedies with their medications but to be safe (since you are already under a Doctor's care) seek guidance from them first.
For high Cholesterol;
1. Red Yeast Rice - Take 1,200mg twice daily. This extract has been shown to reduce Cholesterol levels and increase HDL.
2. CoQ10 - Take 100mg of CoQ10 daily with each serving of Red Yeast Rice.
This is a proven dosage within our industry and has offered good success to users.
