Cholesterol-Modulating Supplements

Tocotrienols protect the endothelium from oxidation, scarring, and plaquing, and should not be combined with tocopherols. Niacin regulates cholesterol but niacinamide does not share the same lipid effects, making the specific form clinically important. Red yeast extract and polycosanol work synergistically for cholesterol regulation and are often used in combination. Garlic thins the blood by reducing platelet stickiness, thereby lowering clotting risk.
