This formula contains a synergistic blend of potent herbal extracts that have been found useful in supporting optimal cholesterol levels. Guggulipid (Guggul), cayenne, policosanol, garlic and plant sterols are the active ingredients in Chloesterol Therapy. Guggul is a resin extracted form the Commiphora mukul tree that has been shown to lower fasting blood sugar, bad cholesterol, blood pressure, and insulin levels. Guggul also has anti-inflammatory activity, reducing the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). Policosanol is a waxy extract from sugar cane that has been shown, in some studies, to be of benefit in terms of raising beneficial HDL cholesterol levels and lowering LDL cholesterol levels. Cayenne, a type of spicy red pepper, has been shown useful at lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Plant sterols work by inhibiting cholesterol absorption in the small intestine; this has the overall effect of lowering blood cholesterol levels. Unlike many common prescription cholesterol lowering medications, this formula is safe even for people with liver problems. For health maintenance, we recommend one capsule of Cholesterol Therapy twice a day. Cholesterol Therapy contains policosanol. Side effects from policosanol are rare, but may include rashes, headache, insomnia, weight loss and gastrointestinal discomfort. Do not exceed recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18, and individuals with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.
