Did you know that Heart disease is the leading killer of both men and women after the age of 45? Do you know what is responsible for 70% of heart disease in our country?? The answer.... high cholesterol. High cholesterol levels lead to blocked arteries, heart attacks, hardening of the arteries, blood clots, clogged arteries, and stroke.

While it is true the ingredients selected for Cholesterol Support are independently effective, when combined together, they provide a truly unique and even more powerful cholesterol lowering product.

Because of the specifically targeted ingredients in our Cholesterol Support formula, we believe we have one of the best, most effective, natural cholesterol products on the market.

Here is some information about some of the powerful ingredients in our new Cholesterol Support formula.

Niacin: 50 mg.
Niacin (a form of Vit. B3) has been shown to improve cholesterol profiles, help lower LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels, while raising HDL-cholesterol levels. November 1998 American Journal of Cardiology research study: "Nicotinic acid (niacin) has been shown to decrease triglyceride, increase HDL cholesterol, lower LDL cholesterol, and decrease lipoprotein (a); it also decreases fibrinogen," an additional benefit is that it may reduce the risk of related cardiovascular disease. We believe adding Niacin to our Cholesterol Support is just one more weapon in our arsenal in the war against high cholesterol levels. (those with hepatitis should avoid niacin)

Policosanol: 10 mg.
Policosanol is a natural compound derived from sugar cane or beeswax that has been shown in recent studies to support cholesterol concerns and cardiovascular health. Policosanol has been shown to lower cholesterol levels by slowing the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver. It is also reported to raise “good” cholesterol levels and works as a powerful antioxidant to help maintain healthy arteries. Policosanol, has been clinically shown to lower total cholesterol levels. Policosanol has been shown to normalize cholesterol as well or even better than some cholesterol lowering drugs, without negative side effects. Policosanol lowers harmful LDL-cholesterol and raises protective HDL-cholesterol. HDL- the "good" cholesterol, removes plaque from arterial walls.

Gugulipid: (2.5% gugglesterones) 100 mg.
Gugulipid comes from the resin of the commiphora mukul tree of north central India. A study published in 1989 by the Journal of Associated Physicians (India) showed 125 patients receiving gugulipid experienced a 11% decrease in total serum cholesterol, a drop of 16.8% in triglycerides, and a 60% increase in HDL cholesterol within 3 to 4 weeks. Patients with existing elevated cholesterol levels showed much greater improvement than normal patients.

Guggul (common name, gugulipid) has been found to significantly lower serum triglycerides and cholesterol as well as LDL and VLDL cholesterols (frequently called “bad” cholesterol). At the same time, Guggul raises levels of HDL cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol). A powerful antioxidant, guggulsterones keep LDL cholesterol from oxidizing which helps protect against atherosclerosis. Guggul has also been shown to reduce the stickiness of platelets.

Plant Sterol Complex: 200 mg.
The Food and Drug Administration now recognizes that phytosterols like those in the plant sterol complex found in our Cholesterol Support, may provide a natural means of lowering total and LDL Cholesterol levels as well as help support overall good heart health.

Phytosterols (PS) or plant sterols are structurally similar to cholesterol. This causes the absorption of cholesterol to be blocked through competitive inhibition. Studies indicate dietary plant sterols may offer protection from some of the most common cancers such as colon, breast and prostate cancer (*contains soy-plant sterols)

Garlic: (herb powder) 50 mg.
The health benefits of garlic have been known for years. If you have high LDL cholesterol levels, garlic supplementation is especially important because LDL cholesterol oxidation causes atherosclerosis, and garlic specifically inhibits LDL oxidation.

Garlic may also help protect the arterial lining against oxidation. Garlic also tends to prevent abnormal platelet aggregation (thrombosis-blood clots) which is one of the primary causes of heart attacks and strokes.

Garlic may affect plaque buildup by reducing blood platelet stickiness (aggregation) and specifically preventing oxidation of LDL cholesterol onto the lining of the arteries. Platelet aggregation helps plaque cling to the arteries.

Cayenne Pepper: 50 mg.
Cayenne pepper has been used as medicine for centuries. It has been used for everything from the gastrointestinal tract to arthritis pain. Cayenne has been frequently used to treat diseases of the circulatory system. It is still traditionally used in herbal medicine as a circulatory tonic (a substance believed to improve circulation).

Add Cholesterol Support to your heart healthy diet and exercise program and we believe you will find it helps promote lower cholesterol levels, maintain strong arteries and promote better general heart health.

Suggested use: 2 CAPSULES PER DAY

*It is recommended Coenzyme Q10 (sold below) be taken daily by those who are taking ANY form of cholesterol lowering products whether prescription drugs or natural supplements. This is because any cholesterol lowering product tends to lessen the body's production of CoQ 10 which is vital to literally every cell in the body but most especially, the heart.
