Saponins instead of Welchol/CSM?

Does anyone know if saponins can be used instead of CSM/Welchol?

They are supposedly a natural bile acid sequestrant. I bought a bottle of Yucca from Nature's Way to try.

HI There.

I don't know about Saponins.. what are they?

I did Yucca before and it was def. helpfull but nothing has been as good as CSM. It's def. hard to take but worth it, at least if you have a lot of neurotoxins. I also liked Beta Sisterol, which is a natural CSM sorta.
