BREAKFAST TO LOWER CHOLESTEROL. Oats, berries, psyllium husk or ground flax, natural nut butter.

How to lower your cholesterol fast. These are the two things that I would immediately do if I had high cholesterol which are super easy and likely to have the greatest impact.

1. Decrease saturated fat intake! Ideally replacing these fats with healthy fats aka monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
2. Increase fiber intake! Consume 1-1.5 cups of cooked barley per day to get 3 grams of beta-glucans (oats, oat bran, and nutritional yeast are also good sources)

THIS or THAT: Bone Broth vs. Collagen Powder

Let's compare the two! Bone broth powder contains a mixture of minerals, electrolytes, collagen, and glycosaminoglycans (like hyaluronic acid). But the amount of collagen is variable and unlikely to be in the significant doses studied in research.

Collagen powder is made of hydrolyzed collagen peptides which means it's easier for the body to digest. It's also pure collagen so you know how much you're getting and it's the method of delivery that has been predominantly studied.

Hope this helps!
