"Cholester-X Plus"

Medical laboratories now subdivide total cholesterol measurement into several components including LDL cholesterol (the so called bad cholesterol) and HDL cholesterol (the so-called ''good'' cholesterol). The relative amount of HDL to LDL is more important than total cholesterol. Management of cholesterol requires consultation with a healthcare professional.

Many important nutritional approaches to protecting against arteriosclerosis are aimed at lowering serum cholesterol levels because people with elevated cholesterol levels are much more likely to suffer from arteriosclerosis.

Cholester-X Plus is a proprietary blend of herbs and vitamins formulated to support healthy cholesterol*. It contains Gugulipid, which is extracted from the gum of the plant Commiphora mukul, and has been used by Ayurvedic practitioners in India for centuries for the management of healthy cholesterol. References to this approach are found in Charak Samhita (100 B.C.) and Sushruta Samhita (600 B.C.). Significant lowering of lipid levels in blood has been observed in the publicly available scientific literature. This formulation also uses Pantethine, which is also known to lower lipid levels. In one study, consumption of 300 mg per day lowered the LDL by 36% and HDL increased by 38%. Benefits of Coenzyme Q10 for heart health have been documented extensively. Virtually every cell of the human body contains CoQ10. Heart muscle contains the greatest amount of CoQ10. Some cholesterol drugs may actually reduce the body’s ability to produce CoQ10 and hence may deplete it’s normal concentrations. Formulated in vegetarian capsules.
