<p>Just in case anyone wants to lower LDL and Total Cholesterol, I have found psyllium to do a very good job. I reduced my total cholesterol and LDL by about 25% in only 3 weeks, taking about 20 grams of psyllium per day (10 grams in am, 10 grams in pm). I also recommended the same to a friend and he reported similar results.</p> <p>My total cholesterol normally runs about 265, and I wanted to get into a study that required "normal" cholesterol of below 200. I hit 197 after only 3 weeks of taking the psyllium 2x/day.</p> <p>Just make sure you take the psyllium with plenty of water. I put mine in 16 oz of water morning and night.</p>
