Cholester-X plus, 90 caps
Medical
laboratories now subdivide total cholesterol
measurement into several components including
low density lipoproteins (LDL) (bad cholesterol)
and high density lipoproteins (HDL) (good
cholesterol).
Elevated blood cholesterol and triglyceride
levels lead to plaque-filled arteries. This
condition will reduce blood flow to the brain,
heart and other areas of the body. High
cholesterol levels are among the primary causes
of heart disease, because cholesterol produces
fatty deposits in arteries.
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. This
formulation also uses Pantethine, which is also
known to lower lipid levels. Also included is
CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a
micronutrient essential to all human life. It is
a naturally occurring nutrient that works as a
co-factor in the body’s electron transport
system where all of the body’s energy is
derived. CoQ10 regulates the flow of oxygen
moving in and out of the mitochondria, which are
the cell’s power plants. The body’s cellular
power plants can’t function without CoQ10.
Declines in CoQ10 levels occur with advancing
age and appear to be correlated with
deterioration of the immune system.
Supplementation with CoQ10 could help to boost
energy levels, strengthen and protect the heart
and blood vessels, enhance the immune system and
protect against free radical damage.
