Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM for your query.

Well I can understand your concern regarding the effectiveness of STATIN drug for high cholesterol.
It is approved by FDA for the treatment of high cholesterol levels based on evidence based scientific studies throughout the world.

On the other hand the herbal preparation Advanced Cholest-Ext is claimed to work to support healthy cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipid levels which are already in the normal range. .
These claims have not been evaluated or approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of high cholesterol levels.
You may try this medicine along with strict dietary modifications life strict vegaterian diet free from oil, fresh fruits, etc, along with exercise.
Check your cholesterol level after some time.

If you were my patient I would have recommended you to take Statin.
Wishing you a very good health.
