beetroot jus

[libbyM]

Hi everyone A friend recently recommended I start taking beetroot jus once a day as my cholesterol is still high and the doctor wants to put me on statins.
I did take them for a few days but found my muscles were starting to ache so stopped and am to see him tomorrow. However, in the meantime commenced
taking a quarter of a glass of jus but have yet to have the next blood tests for everything. Has anyone else heard of this helping reducing the bad chol?

I'd also like to know if beetroot juice helps with highish cholesterol. I'm steadily reducing mine with drastically reduced saturated fats, but if there's anything else that will help, I'd be very interested.

But I cannot offer any personal experience.
