How long is it supposed to it take for your body to clean out cholesterol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You mean lower: You can not clean out cholesterol, all the membranes of the cells in your body are made out of cholesterol. You can lower your level if you have a high level and that depends on the person, genetics, diet, and medications, everybody is different.
