Broccoli sprouts contain cholesterol-lowering substances.

Broccoli sprouts have been of great interest to supplement users because they contain substances called ‘sulforaphanes’, which have been shown to be effective cancer-fighters. Now these same vegetables are revealing another side: cardiovascular benefits. In particular, two research groups in Tokyo have shown that eating 100 grams (3.5 oz) of broccoli sprouts daily for just one week can measurably reduce an individual’s overall cholesterol level and increase the level of HDL or "good" cholesterol.

A more powerful and reliable approach to achieving these results would be to supplement with broccoli sprouts extract. A tablet or two per day would be a good way to start; the dosage can then be adjusted based on one’s next cholesterol test.
