Artichokes Lower Cholesterol

In this study, 1,280 mg of artichoke leaf extract lowered cholesterol levels by ~ 4-6 % (~ 13 points if one has a cholesterol of 250) relative to placebo after 3 months of use. Add artichokes to your menu along with oats and garlic. Artichoke leaf extract is also one of many components of the herbal mix "Chol-Less" which can help you optimize cholesterol levels. I invite you to read my overview of how to treat high cholesterol.
