Soluble Fibre Increase

for High Cholesterol

Increasing daily soluble fibre intake through psyllium husk, legumes, apples, pears and barley to lower LDL cholesterol.

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.

What to watch for

Increase fibre intake gradually to avoid bloating and gas. Drink plenty of water when supplementing with psyllium husk.
