Why Cholest Perfect?

A Natural Cholesterol Regulator

The first formula in the United States to combine these cholesterol regulating ingredients into one capsule. In clinical trials this formula reduced triglycerides, reduced Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL), and increased High Density Lipoproteins (HDL). The Risk Ratio was also improved with all that followed the regimen. It is recommended to use three capsules per day. Since 80-90% of cholesterol is produced in the liver, it is necessary to make the liver corrections with CholestPerfect to decrease risk of stroke or heart attack.

Guggulipid- (gum guggul) is a resin produced by the mukul mirth tree. Guggulipid is extracted from guggul and contains chemicals called "plant sterols" (guggulsterones E and Z), which are believed to be active in the human body. The sap from the tree known in India as guggul contains a compound that blocks the action of a cell receptor, called FXR, that helps regulate the level of cholesterol in the body. This mechanism is completely different from the action of statin drugs. Finding this new way to reduce cholesterol could be very important for patients who cannot tolerate the side effects that some people experience with statin drugs. Also, known to reduce triglycerides.

Policosanol- (polycosanol) is a natural waxy extract from sugar cane. Its use as a supplement has been proven in numerous clinical trials to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL) more effectively and safely than prescription statin drugs. Hard numbers show that Policosanol can lower one''s bad Cholesterol (LDL) by up to 20% and raise beneficial cholesterol (HDL) by 10%. It works by obstructing the synthesis of cholesterol from the liver.

Lecithin- is a fat-like substance called a phospholipid. It is produced daily by the liver if the diet is adequate. It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and largely comprises the protective sheaths surrounding the brain. Sometimes lecithin is referred as "brain-food". It is composed mostly of B vitamins, phosphoric acid, choline, linoleic acid and inositol. Although it is a fatty substance, it is also a fat emulsifier. Hence, it supports the circulatory system. Its choline is useful for making acetylcholine.

Milk Thistle- (Silymarin) Contains some of the most potent liver protecting substances known. Prevents free radical damage in the liver and kidneys. It stimulates new liver cells and is an excellent immune system builder. Is known to open the bile ducts of the liver for detoxification. The extract is known as silibinin, a substance with powerful effects to reduce inflammation, diminish oxidation and free radical damage. This is a high 80% extract.

Dandelion Root- This plant has two particularly important uses: To promote the formation of bile and to remove excess water from the body in edema conditions. It acts to remove poisons from the body and can also act as a tonic stimulant. Dandelion is claimed to be effective for liver problems and assists in regulating cholesterol.

Vitamin B-3- (Niacinamide) - Essential in energy metabolism and for production of male and female hormones. Promotes good physical and mental health. It is involved in production of hydrochloric acid for the digestive system. It known to lower cholesterol and improve circulation.

Garlic- (3,500 ppm allicin) Researchers found that on the average garlic was more effective in lowering cholesterol than placebos which looked and tasted the same as garlic but which lacked active ingredients. In Germany, garlic is a licensed medicine for atherosclerosis. The Cholesterol/triglyceride lowering action of Garlic is well researched. Since 1975 there have been at least 32 human studies involving the cholesterol/triglyceride lowering action of Garlic.

Alpha Lipoic Acid- If it's essential role in health is any indication, alpha-lipoic acid may very well join the ranks of vitamins C and E as part of your first-line of defense against free radicals. Discovered in 1951, it serves as a coenzyme in the Krebs cycle and in the production of cellular energy. In the late 1980s, researchers realized that alpha-lipoic acid had been overlooked as a powerful antioxidant. Alpha-lipoic acid also plays an important role in the synergism of antioxidants, what has been referred as the body's "antioxidant network." It directly recycles and extends the metabolic life-spans of vitamin C, glutathione, and coenzyme Q10, and it indirectly renews vitamin E. If free radical damage in vessel walls can be avoided, then plaque cannot form.

Apple Pectin- is a water soluble fiber that is considered to be beneficial for cholesterol levels, arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), diabetes, and may inhibit cancer metastasis. The apple pectin in this formula (USP grade) is the highest quality and meets the purest grade of apple pectin obtainable. Apple Pectin is an added benefit for regulation of Cholesterol Levels, Diabetes, Arteriosclerosis.

Hawthorne Extract- (1.8% Vitexin) Hawthorne appear to work best when taken as a preventative herb, possibly helping reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. With its high content of bioflavonoids, Hawthorne Berries best support the heart. Hawthorne increases the body's ability to utilize oxygen, and the heart's ability to utilize calcium. This herb can actually help regulate both high and low blood pressure, in addition to slowly breaking down cholesterol and fat deposits in the body. The bioflavonoids help strengthen the contractive force of the heart, and gently dilate & relax the coronary blood vessels, improving overall circulation.

Artichoke Extract- (5% Cynarine) In a multi-center, placebo-controlled randomized trial, 143 patients with initial total cholesterol levels greater than 280 took either placebo tablets or artichoke extract four times a day. After six weeks, those taking the artichoke extract showed an 18.5 percent reduction in cholesterol, compared with 5.6 percent reduction in the placebo group. It gives support for a sluggish liver and increases bile production.

Chromium Polynicotinate- Chromium is necessary for energy and essential in the synthesis of cholesterol, fats, and proteins. It helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. The polynicotinate is more bio-available than the Picolinate and no toxicity can develop. Only 1 in 10 Americans has an adequate amount of Chromium in their diet. The major reasons for this deficiency is that Chromium is not easily absorbed in the body, people are not consuming enough foods that contain Chromium, and the high quantities of sugar in the diet is causing a loss of Chromium from the body. Chromium supplementation is used to lower cholesterol and blood glucose levels. This mineral promotes loss of fat and an increase in lean muscle tissue. Studies have shown it may increase longevity and help fight osteoporosis. Active, athletic people burn more carbohydrates and have higher Chromium requirements than those who are not as active, and as we age Chromium levels decrease in our body which can cause a variety of health concerns. Adding Chromium supplements to the diet can also be helpful for diabetics and those with hypoglycemia.

Green Tea Extract- In a research study, the examination of the arteries after three and six weeks showed that the formation of new plaque in mice who got Green Tea Extract was reduced significantly, while plaques continued to form in the mice that did not get the antioxidant. The polyphenol (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is the responsible component. Also, EGCG is able to force certain cancer cells into a situation in which they must die or be killed; the cancer cells die in a sort of cellular suicide, a condition scientists call "apoptosis".

Tumeric Extract- (95% Curcuminoids) Considered to have high level antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties, Curcumin inhibits angiogenesis, i.e. formation of new blood vessels, which tumors use to nourish themselves as they spread. Known collectively as "curcumin", Curcuminoids have demonstrated potent antioxidant properties and benefit joints and other tissues by helping to neutralize free-radicals.

Beta Sitosterol- Beta-Sitosterol is plant sterol found in almost all plants. It is one of the main subcomponents of a group of plant sterols known as phytosterols. It is white in color and waxy in nature. It has a chemical structure that is very similar to cholesterol. High levels of Beta-sitosterol are found in rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, and soybeans. Beta-sitosterol has been known to reduce cholesterol levels over the last three decades. Its close chemical resemblance to cholesterol enables it to block the absorption of cholesterol by competitive inhibition. Although beta-sitosterol is not well absorbed by the body (5-10%), when consumed with cholesterol (meals that contain fats), it effectively blocks cholesterol's absorption, resulting in lower serum cholesterol levels. Beta-sitosterol has also been shown to improve both lipoprotein (HDL, LDL) profiles. Also, an excellent element for men's prostate health.

L-Arginine- The essential amino acid arginine has several roles in the body, such as assisting in wound healing, helping remove excess ammonia from the body, stimulating immune function, and promoting secretion of several hormones, including glucagon, insulin, and growth hormone. Arginine is also a precursor to nitric oxide, which the body uses to keep blood vessels dilated, allowing the heart to receive adequate oxygen. Researchers have begun to use arginine in people with Angina and congestive heart failure.

L-Taurine- Taurine is one of the most abundant non-essential amino acids in the body. It is found in the central nervous system, skeletal muscle and is very concentrated within the brain and heart. Taurine is synthesized from the amino acids methionine and cysteine, in conjunction with Vitamin B-6. Vegetarians with an unbalanced protein intake, and therefore deficient in methionine and cysteine may have difficulty manufacturing Taurine, since it is not found in vegetable protein. Women are more apt to be deficient in taurine since the female hormone estradiol depresses the formation of taurine in the liver. In Japan, taurine therapy is used in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. Low taurine and magnesium levels have been found in patients after heart attacks. Like magnesium, taurine affects cell membrane electrical excitability by normalizing potassium flow in and out of heart muscle cells. Supplemental L-taurine may decrease the tendency to develop potentially lethal abnormal heart arrythmias after heart attacks, people with congestive heart failure have responded favorably with L-taurine with improved cardiac and respiratory function. Taurine also helps maintain the correct composition of bile, and in maintaining the solubility of cholesterol. It has been found to have an effect on blood sugar levels similar to insulin. Diabetes increases the body's requirements for taurine; conversely, supplementation with L-taurine and L-cystine may decrease the need for insulin. Taurine stabilizes cell membranes and seems to have some antioxidant and detoxifying activity. It helps the movement of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells, which helps generate nerve impulses.

Lipase- Lipase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes lipids, the ester bonds in triglycerides, to form fatty acids and glycerol. While too much fat in our diet can cause severe health conditions including heart disease and cancer, some fat is absolutely required. All cell membranes and other structures are made up of lipids, thus an adequate supply of essential fatty acids in the diet are important to ensure viable cells. Most health care professionals suggest that your daily caloric intake should not include more than 20% of fat calories. As important as limiting your fat intake, it is equally or more important to ensure that you properly digest the fat you do eat. If fats (lipids) are not properly broken down before they are absorbed, some health consequences may occur. Fats require special digestive action before absorption because the end products must be carried in a water medium (blood and lymph) in which fats are not soluble. Lipase is the primary digestant used to split fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Although little actual fat digestion occurs in the stomach, gastric lipase does digest already emulsified fats such as in egg yolk and cream. Emulsification is the real key to the proper digestion of fats. The large fat molecule presents comparatively small surfaces for the lipase to work on, so the process of emulsification by the action of bile produced by the liver is necessary. Bile breaks down the large fat molecule to tiny droplets which provide lipase with an enormously increased surface to work on. This action takes place in the small intestine and the lipase involved here is a part of the pancreatic secretion.
