I haven't explored them but there are plant sterols that some people take instead of statins. Does anyone have info on plant sterols and any recommendations of good ones? Thanks in advance.

My doctors had me try Cholestoff and also psyllium after statins and other medications for managing my cholesterol did not work. I have successfully recommended these to my own family members (we have familial hypercholesterolemia-family high cholesterol).

I stopped taking a statin and replaced it with “citrus Bergamot”. That was after a lot of research and Googling. Bought it from Amazon.
