It will some, but...: Eating oat bran is better for you and may have a more pronounced effect. Good luck!

Also consider psyllium husk, walnuts (not almonds or other nuts - they have other specific benefits), garlic, omega 3 (as in fish oil or flax - also a good sourse of fibers), niacin 500 mg (otc).
