What herbs effectively lower high cholesterol?

There are several herbs that can have a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels. Below are the most popular herbs that are widely used for their potential cholesterol-lowering properties: Monacolin K: This is a substance naturally found in red rice that has been fermented using red yeast (Monascus purpureus). It is commonly called a natural statin because its mechanism of action is very similar to statins (i.e. the most commonly prescribed drugs to lower blood cholesterol). The effect of these actions is the desired decrease in the level of total cholesterol and LDL lipoproteins in the blood serum, e.g. Cardiostatil: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/111942/cardiostatil-kapsulki/apteki?pvid=266224#internetowe Garlic: Garlic is one of the most well-known herbs with potential cholesterol-lowering properties.
