Whether you’re shopping over the internet or in a store, you’ll find many supplements that claim to lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease.
The federal government tests and regulates statins and other prescription drugs. But that’s not the case for supplements.
Supplement manufacturers don’t have to back up their claims. They don’t even have to list all of the ingredients in a supplement or verify its strength.
I did my own internet search and came up with 889,000 search engine results for “dietary supplements to lower cholesterol.” But no dietary supplement will lower cholesterol to any significant extent.
