Great insight into dietary cholesterol. Don't forget cholesterol has important functions (aside from the 'evil artery clogging' properties) like maintaining the structure of cell walls, aiding in hormone production, and composing bile which is the emulsifier during digestion.

Remember that supplements are NOT regulated by the FDA. Unfortunately this is a common occurrence. When purchasing supplements, look for the "USP" (Unites States Pharmacopia) label. This is a voluntary certification that companies can participate in to verify that their supplements are, in fact, what they say they are. Also be sure to evaluate any supplement or nutrient/ drug reactions that may occur while supplementing herbs and vitamins with prescription medications. certain nutrient/drug interactions can cause toxic build up or complete ineffectiveness of certain prescription medications. ALWAYS consult your Doctor, RD, or Nutrition Professional before taking supplements while on prescription medications.
