If you are asking will it aid in increasing you HDL and lower your LDL then no. It is better then eating a regular egg. Diets high in fiber low in fat especially saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol along with diet and exercise will improve your levels. Also you can try adding fish oil supplements. Be aware that for some people diet and lifestyle modifications might not be enough. Some people have such as strong familial history of high cholesterol that they may have to be put on a statin drug to help get it under 200.

While the traditional whole egg delivers a variety of important nutrients, it also contains 5 grams of fat, 75 calories and a hefty dose of cholesterol — about 210 milligrams per large egg — all of which is found in the egg yolk.
In contrast, Egg Beaters (a popular substitute) is actually more nutritious than traditional whole eggs. By eliminating the yolk, all of the fat and cholesterol (except with the Cheese & Chive variety) and more than half of the calories are cut out. I
n addition, the product contains greater amounts of important vitamins like A, B-12, D and E, as well as other essential nutrients such as folic acid and riboflavin. Egg Beaters adds these nutrients back in, providing an even better nutritional value. Plus, there's no waste from unused and discarded yolks.

Egg substitute is yellow colored egg whites and a good source of protein. There is no cholesterol egg substitute because there is no egg yolk. Egg yolk is what contains cholesterol.

Sue try using just the whites this way you get all the good stuff with little cholesterol and if you have high numbers ask your doctor about grape seed extract I have had my hubby on them and they seem to help.
