Cholesterol Supplements

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance found in the bloodstream. It is known as a bad substance, but the body needs it as a building block for cells and hormones and in the production of bile.

The authorised claims in this area concern dietary fatty acids. On this page you can read which ones these are and why a measured blood value is a matter for your doctor.

What cholesterol does in the body

Cholesterol is a fatty substance that occurs in tiny spheres in the bloodstream, surrounded by a thin layer of protein that makes transport possible. It is known as a bad substance, but the body needs it: cholesterol is a building block for cells and hormones and plays a role in the production of bile.

A small part comes from food; most of it is produced in the liver. Normally, exactly enough is made there for a well-functioning body.

Where diet makes the difference

The fatty acids in question here are alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid, and the amounts that matter are around 2 to 10 grams per day. You get those from linseed, walnuts and vegetable oils, not from a capsule. A capsule rarely weighs more than a gram.

That is useful to know before you look at supplements. The products in this collection, such as coenzyme Q10, curcumin and krill oil, are chosen for other reasons, and we describe for each product what it contains.

Measured values are a matter for your doctor

If you have been diagnosed with raised cholesterol or take medication for it, discuss the use of supplements with your GP or pharmacist. Some substances can affect medication, and a blood value is something to monitor together with a doctor.

General advice on diet and lifestyle, such as choosing unsaturated rather than saturated fats, is available from the Netherlands Nutrition Centre (Voedingscentrum) and your GP. A food supplement is an addition to this, not a replacement for it.
