What is Cholesterol?
High or low cholesterol levels can create health issues. Cholesterol is an essential part of every cell structure in the human body. Cholesterol insulates the nerves and is vital for nerve function and brain function. Cholesterol is a huge component to all sex hormones. Cholesterol is a fatty substance manufactured in the liver, transported into the bloodstream where it goes to do repair work for your body. Cholesterol gets in to blood stream, that is mostly water based, the fatty substance attaches to molecules called lipoproteins.

There are two types of lipoproteins:

HDL- Healthy cholesterol carries unneeded cholesterol away from the cells and back to the liver. In a healthy liver this cholesterol is then broken down and removed from the body.

LDL- low-density lipoproteins carry cholesterol from the liver to the places where it is needed.The problem with this is LDL encourages the deposit of cholesterol in the arteries. Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) increases the risk of coronary artery disease.

The key to this picture is balance. The body should balance the HDL and the LDL. Not enough HDL cholesterol will form plaque that sticks to artery walls and can lead to heart disease. Cholesterol is greatly influenced by eating habits, digestive processes, liver toxicity, and genetic makeup.

Cholesterol Control assists the body’s normal ability to balance cholesterol levels. Along with diet and exercise this product may help to decrease bad cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol Control contains:

Niacine (as niacinamide)- is effective in the support of lowering cholesterol levels. Niacine is essential for food metabolism and the release of cellular energy. Niacine is vital for oxygen transport in the blood and fatty acid and nucleic acid formation. Niacine is a Coenzyme that increases circulation and enhances memory.

Policosanol- works by inhibiting the liver’s production of cholesterol. A review of studies revealed a reduction of total cholesterol by 21-29%, and increasing HDL by 8-15%. Research indicates policosanol prove to be very promising natural alternative to classic lipid-lowering drugs such as statins.

Gugulipid- have been used for obesity and the “coating and obstruction of channels.” Recent scientific studies confirm Gugulipids lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and raises HDL cholesterol.

Plant sterol complex- are recommended to help reduce LDL cholesterol. Phytosterols lower cholesterol by interfering with its absorption in the small intestine.

Cayenne- helps cardiovascular disease because of its stimulating action and ability to breakdown cholesterol build-up. Cayenne promotes the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids, which can then be excreted by the body – an action, which may help prevent atherosclerosis. Cayenne enhances the absorption of other nutritional combination.

Garlic- inhibits platelet aggregation and encourages the breakdown and production of fibrin, a clotting protein implicated in heart disease and strokes. Garlic reduces hypertension and lowers serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides and blood fats. Garlic raises HDL cholesterol levels.

Nutritional suggestions: if you are currently taking medication to control cholesterol, combining a cholesterol-lowering nutritional supplement is not suggested. If you are on blood thinning medications I would not suggest working with Garlic or Cayenne with those types of medications.
