Hi can u plz tell me your height and weight to guide u properly. Plz dont follow your friends blindly plz consult some diet and nutri for best advice. My suggestion to u is dont take any supplement to reduce your weight. Even lean person can have increase in colestrol. Diet and walk is only way in which u can reduce your weight. Revert me if you feel with your height and weight. Bye and take care.
