How it works
Soluble fibre binds bile acids in the gut, reducing their reabsorption and forcing the liver to convert more cholesterol into bile acids, thereby lowering blood cholesterol.
Increase fibre intake gradually to avoid bloating and gas. Drink plenty of water when supplementing with psyllium husk.
Meta-analyses confirm that each additional 5–10g of soluble fibre per day reduces LDL by 5%. Psyllium is the most studied supplement form.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
