The LDL or low density lipoprotein is the bad cholesterol. Non of the
vitamin can reduce the LDL levels. You can reduce LDL, triglycerides and increase HDL by restricting the fats use, by exercise especially brisk walk and by the use of some medicines like statins. Discuss this medicine with your doctor and get prescription. Don't use over the counter herbal or home made medicines.

Rayoflight gave good info here and I think your relatives are onto a good thing too, but your doctor's advice is the one you should really rely on for this now. May I also suggest a book that is not a diet book or health food book or lecturing or anything like that. It's called Magic Foods and is really an interesting read. It's put out by Reader's Digest and it teaches WHY some foods are better than others, how you benefit, alternatives to things you don't like, recipes, what foods help with what problems, and it just is a new way to eat. Even gives tips on how to "fix" things when you decide to eat something that isn't very healthy. I've never seen another book like it. It's available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, sometimes Target, etc. Cost is between $12-18 depending on where you buy it. I really think it would help. It's changed my life and the lives of many of my friends. Might be worth a try.

Thanks for all the information. I am greatly appreciated by all that has given the input on this. Sorry I am getting back so late. We have had two deaths in the family and I have just been bummed out. But thanks again and God Bless You, this is a comment from rivas1957, converted for him(or her)

I was told that omega 3 fish oil and evening primrose pills would lower bad cholesterol. I have family members that take these and so far it is helping. I was told also that garlic pills can lower it too. Myself I have tried the garlic oil gel pills and it makes me feel funny inside, I think because it has to much MG.
