Although it is by no means the only major risk factor, elevated serum (blood) cholesterol is clearly associated with a high risk of heart disease.
Most doctors suggest cholesterol levels should stay under 200 mg/dl. As levels fall below 200, the risk of heart disease continues to decline. Many doctors consider cholesterol levels of no more than 180 to be optimal. A low cholesterol level, however, is not a guarantee of good heart health, as some people with low levels do suffer heart attacks.
Medical laboratories now subdivide total cholesterol measurement into several components, including LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, which is directly linked to heart disease, and HDL (“good”) cholesterol, which is protective. The relative amount of HDL to LDL is more important than total cholesterol. For example, it is possible for someone with very high HDL to be at relatively low risk for heart disease even with total cholesterol above 200. Evaluation of changes in cholesterol requires consultation with a healthcare professional and should include measurement of total serum cholesterol, as well as HDL and LDL cholesterol.
The following discussion is limited to information about lowering serum cholesterol levels or increasing HDL cholesterol using natural approaches. Because high cholesterol is linked to atherosclerosis and heart disease, people concerned about heart disease should also learn more about atherosclerosis.

Provides essential support to maintain optimal nutritional status.
The most comprehensive and potent formula uses highest quality ingredients to tackle any specific health concern.
Are you aware of the risks of high cholesterol? Your blood cholesterol level has a lot to do with your chance of getting heart disease. High blood cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. Heart disease is the number one killer of women and men in the United States. This natural treatment formula is a comprehensive approach to lower cholesterol, aiming for optimum cardiovascular health. Essential, natural ingredients are included in this formula for the natural treatment of high cholesterol; for example, Red Yeast Rice, which can inhibit cholesterol production in the liver and may lower cholesterol levels; and CoQ10, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, a group of powerful antioxidants which reduce dangerous oxidation of cholesterol and also lower cholesterol levels.
Main Functions:
When there is too much cholesterol (a fat-like substance) in your blood, it builds up in the walls of your arteries. Over time, this buildup causes "hardening of the arteries" so that arteries become narrowed and blood flow to the heart is slowed down or blocked. Garlic extract may help lower cholesterol and prevent hardening of the arteries. Omega - 3 Fatty Acids and Flax Seed Powder are highly effective for lowering high triglycerides.
The blood carries oxygen to the heart, and if enough blood and oxygen cannot reach your heart, you may suffer from chest pain. If the blood supply to a portion of the heart is completely cut off by a blockage, the result is a heart attack. CoQ10 is a supplement that can reduce dangerous oxidation of cholesterol and energize the heart.
Ingredients Description:
Red Yeast Rice contains an enzyme which inhibits cholesterol production in the liver and which may lower cholesterol levels. Guggul, Garlic, Pantothenic Acid and Soy Isoflavones are important in the natural treatment of high cholesterol as they may lower cholesterol levels and raise HDL ("good" cholesterol). Omega - 3 Fatty Acids and Flax Seed Powder are highly effective for lowering high triglycerides. CoQ10, Vitamin C and Vitamin E are a group of powerful antioxidants which are used in the natural treatment of high cholesterol to prevent dangerous oxidation of cholesterol and also to lower cholesterol levels.
