My husband's cholesterol has been high for quite some time. His total cholesterol has been ranging from 250-270, with LDL between 160-180, and Triglycerides ranging from 170-260. The doctor was finally going to put him on prescription meds, because diet and exercise alone were not working. He really did not want to be on the meds, so I purchased this for him, because it had really great reviews. On 5/16/16 his total cholesterol was 200, LDL 125, and his Triglycerides were 110. This is the lowest it has ever been! I believe all the other reviews and think this is a great find!!
