  • B vitamins: Niacin (also known as vitamin B3) is the most potent natural drug available to combat bad cholesterol, many doctors say, by reducing 'bad' cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins) and increasing 'good' cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins). Folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 can help keep homocysteine levels (that contribute to anthersclerosis or hardening of the arteries) in check, as well.


  • Garlic: This herb has been called the ultimate herb for preventing heart attack and stroke. Overall, garlic has been showed to lower cholesterol by about 12 percent. How much is enough? From one to two cloves daily, up to 10 cloves ? or as much as your palate and digestion (and friends) can handle.
