does Flax seed oil and niacin help reduce cholesterol?

Answer 1

Niacin has been used for years to treat high cholesterol. Flaxseed oil does not yet have enough good research to merit a recommendation for this indication.
See Dr Atkins' Vita-nutrient Solution for a discussion of flush free niacin and other natural remedies for reducing cholesterol levels.
Good luck

Answer 4

I've never eaten a lot of cholesterol because when I was younger I pretty much only ate chicken and fish, and then was vegetarian for about 10 yrs .. I ate a lot of eggs but I had my cholesterol checked while I was a vegetarian who ate a lot of eggs and cheese and they said it was low, in a healthy way. I recently went through a period where I had to eat a lot of meat and I felt like my cholesterol became terrible but I dont remember if they checked it when I was at the clinic--I still dont feel quite recovered from the drastic increase in cholesterol (and also being vegan for awhile I think caused me to have too low a cholesterol consumption, which also felt unhealthy) . ..but I think the best way to reduce it is to just not eat it, or eat very little of it. Personally I think pork meat is the worst for causing cholesterol problems and would eliminate it and beef if you can (or at least beef that has a lot of fat and cholesterol in it like burger meat) .. . .

Answer 5

Yes, but not very much. Soy lecithin works better than anything I have ever tried.. Far superior to Lipitor or anything else for that matter. It is a natural emulsifying agent and has no harmful side effects.

Answer 6

It can. But you will also want to get some omega acids from animal sources as well, the vegetable sources are not complete.

Answer 7

also use omega3-6-9 and a pinch of cinnamon powder

Answer 8

Niacin, yes, The other, I doubt it.
