Psyllium Fiber Recommended for Cholesterol Benefits on the TODAY Show

Studies indicate that soluble fiber may assist in lowering overall cholesterol levels.

Easton, MD (PRWEB) May 11, 2007 -- Konsyl Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a leading producer of high quality, natural supplements for intestinal and digestive health, received a product mention on the TODAY show.

Nutritionist Joy Bauer joined TODAY show host Ann Curry in a segment regarding high cholesterol. In describing the benefits of fiber for this growing problem, Joy gives the following explanation "... Soluble fiber is fiber that, after you eat it, creates a gel in your intestines and it grabs onto the cholesterol and escorts it through the digestive system and out of the body. It's sort of like a cholesterol vacuum cleaner ..." During the discussion Joy recommended psyllium fiber as the best type of fiber for cholesterol reduction.

Studies indicate that soluble fiber, like the kind found in KONSYL, may lower overall cholesterol levels. These studies show that decreasing fat intake and increasing consumption of soluble fiber can help lower LDL levels -- the "bad" cholesterol. LDL is the type of cholesterol that can clog arteries and lead to heart disease.
