Our Members Asked:
Can probiotics help lower cholesterol?
Reviewed and edited by Tod Cooperman, M.D.
Answer:
Yes, certain probiotics, such as Lactobacillus reuteri NCIMB 30242 (Cardioviva) and E. faecium M-74, have been shown to modestly lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels in people with elevated cholesterol, although they do not raise levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol.
