If you have been advised that your cholesterol is too high and are being urged to take drugs to lower your cholesterol, make sure you take the time to examine all the facts.

Cholesterol is naturally produced inside our bodies to help manufacture bile acids for fat digestion, hormones to help control inflammation, metabolism & immune function, as well as Vitamin D which is vital to good health. Cholesterol helps your body to heal and repair as it is a structural component of all cell membranes.

Managing high cholesterol concerns using nutrition based products has been well studied. The following supplements work in their own way to lower cholesterol and contribute to overall wellbeing.

1) Sytrinol increases the liver's ability to cleanse triglycerides from the blood through fatty acid oxidation, as well as inhibiting enzyme production of cholesterol. It helps to reduce arterial plaque, improves glycemic control and reduces blood platelet aggregation. Studies have shown that Sytrinol is able to lower your total cholesterol, bad cholesterol (LDL), and triglycerides in 30 days, while increasing good cholesterol (HDL) levels.

2) Policosanol helps to control the liver's production and breakdown of cholesterol, reducing the amount of cholesterol in the liver, heart and fatty tissue. Many clinical trials have shown that the fatty alcohols in Policosanol are safe and lower serum cholesterol levels, raise good HDL cholesterol levels, and reduce platelet aggregation (stickiness). Policosanol may prevent and reverse atherosclerotic lesions and thrombosis. As an antioxidant, Policosanol works to prevent LDL oxidation.

3) Vegapure uses phytosterol esters (plant sterols) to bind with dietary cholesterol to help it to pass through the system efficiently. Clinical studies have shown that plant sterols can lower total cholesterol by an average of 6 to 10% and LDL cholesterol by an average of 8 to 15%. Dietary plant sterols reduce cholesterol by competing with LDL cholesterol, thereby inhibiting the absorption of LDL cholesterol produced by the liver and dietary cholesterol. Sterols also help to maintain levels of HDL cholesterol, creating an overall improved ratio of cholesterol without any side effects.
