Healthology Cholesto-Less

At ideal levels, cholesterol allows our body to function in a healthy way. However, many diets contain far too many foods that increase our cholesterol levels above what our bodies can use. Excess cholesterol can build up in our blood vessels, blocking oxygen from reaching our organs and causing damage to the body.

Plant Sterol Esters (90% combined beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol)

• Plant Sterol Esters look similar in structure to cholesterol, so they compete with and block about 50% of cholesterol from food and bile from being absorbed². This competitive action reduces LDL “bad” cholesterol and total cholesterol by about 10%, without reducing HDL “good” cholesterol in the body.
• Even a healthy diet does not provide enough Plant Sterol Esters to lower cholesterol, so supplementation is necessary to achieve adequate cholesterol-lowering doses².

Red Yeast Rice (Monascus purpurea – fermented Oryza sativa, Monascus purpurea – whole)

• Works in a similar way to cholesterol-lowering medications, called statins, but with a lower risk of side effects³.
• Inhibits the production of cholesterol in the liver, thereby lowering levels of total cholesterol by about 10% and LDL “bad” cholesterol by about 17%⁴.
• Significantly decreases the occurrence of both fatal and non-fatal cardiac events⁴.

Ubiquinol (Active CoQ10) as Kaneka Q+

• Kaneka Q+ Ubiquinol is an all-natural yeast-fermented form of CoQ10 that is more well-absorbed and more readily utilized by the body than conventional inactive ubiquinone CoQ10.
• Powerful antioxidant that helps to heal damage to blood vessels caused by high cholesterol⁵.
• Improves both blood pressure and HDL “good” cholesterol levels, and reduces total cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease^5,6.
