Cholesterol & Psyllium
Cholesterol
Psyllium may significantly reduce blood cholesterol levels, according to this animal study. Rats were fed cholesterol-enriched semipurified diets, supplemented with either psyllium or cellulose, for an 8-week period. Psyllium-fed rats exhibited significantly lower plasma and liver cholesterol concentrations, than rats fed cellulose.
