Supplements can be helpful for cholesterol-support—but they work best alongside these foundations: fibre, healthy fats, movement, sleep, and metabolic health. 🫒🐟🌾

• Berberine — May offer support for LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood-sugar markers, especially when metabolic health is part of the concern. It’s not a replacement for prescribed treatment and can interact with medications.

• Omega-3s (EPA & DHA) — Best known for supporting healthy triglyceride levels and overall cardiovascular nutrition; they are not primarily LDL-lowering supplements.

• Aged garlic extract — A traditional botanical option that can provide cardiovascular support.

• Soluble fibre — One of the most practical, evidence-supported ways to support healthy LDL levels by helping the body eliminate bile acids. Psyllium, oats, barley, and legumes are especially strong choices.

Supplements are meant to complement a healthy lifestyle—not replace medical care, especially if LDL or ApoB is significantly elevated. Always check with a healthcare practitioner before adding something new, particularly if you take medications. 💛

Are you curious about which mineral supplements you may actually need? 🧪

A hair mineral analysis can provide insight into your mineral levels, helping identify which minerals may be higher or lower in your body. Testing can also screen for exposure to certain toxic elements, including heavy metals.

Use your results as a starting point for a more personalized conversation about your nutrition and supplement routine. Because more supplements aren’t always better—what matters is choosing what’s appropriate for you.

The testing includes information to help you decode your results, even better you can talk to our registered nutritionists to learn more about what your results mean and what to do next.

Learn more about our hair mineral analysis testing options in-store or online.

*Hair mineral analysis is a screening tool and should not be used to diagnose or treat a medical condition. Results should be interpreted with a qualified healthcare professional.
