What is a good natural supplement for reducing cholesterol?

For a good natural supplement to help in reducing cholesterol, I really like garlic. Studies show not only that it can reduce cholesterol but also that it helps the whole cardiovascular system stay healthy. If you add garlic to food at the end of the cooking process its medicinal components should be more potent. Or you can take garlic in a supplemental capsule or tablet -- look for supplements that use organic freeze-dried garlic for the best purity and quality.
