Phytosterols Complex (40% extract from Non-GMO pine tree extract): Plant sterols and plant stanols are collectively known as phytosterols. Because they so closely resemble cholesterol, they can actually block food-based cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream19*
Garlic (Extract 5% alliin; std. to 2,500 ppm allicin potential): has many healthy benefits, more specifically it supports cardiovascular health, healthy platelet function (non-sticky blood) and enhanced immune fucntion.5,6*
Guggulsterones (10% Pure Extract; E and Z): has numerous healthy benefits for the heart:.9*
Pycri nil® Artichoke Leaf Extract (STD: 15% Chlorogenic Acid, 5% Cynarin): Contains polyphenolic compounds supporting optimal HDL/LDL ratios already within normal range.*
Pantesin® d-Pantethine: Works at the cellular level, enhancing enzyme and metabolic activity to help maintain balanced cholesterol levels, promoting improved levels of HDL & LDL, within a normal, youthful range.*
Policosanol (from Sugar Cane - Saccharum species): A blend of long-chain fatty alcohols (LCFAs) derived from sugar cane, which has been shown to:
It's amino acid in the blood, associated with an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. 27 Medical experts predict that homocysteine levels will prove to be as important as cholesterol in predicting heart and brain health.
A lack of nutrients in the diet, particularly a specific group of B-vitamins. Without these essential vitamins, your body is unable to produce the enzymes necessary to remove homocysteine efficiently from your blood.
A lack of B Vitamins and E, leads to elevated homocysteine levels, which is why high homocysteine and vegetarian diets are directly related. 26 Fortunately the situation is easily treatable with the following combination of specific forms and dosages of vitamins:
Co-Q10 (Ubiquinone + Ubiquinol): Known as Co-enzyme Q-10, is found in every cell in the body - the most found in the organs, muscles and heart. Unfortunately, natural production of CoQ10 peaks in our 20s. Because of aging, lack of hormones, genetics and life-style, it's best to supplement BOTH forms of CoQ10, Ubiquinone + Ubiquionol, for maximum absorption and results. 10-12*
R+ Alpha Lipoic Acid (r+ ALA): The correct absorbable "R" form supporting:
NAC (N-Acetyl L-Cysteine) An amino acid and precursor to glutathione, a powerful antioxidant which protects cells from free radical damage, supports immune system health and liver function.*
Milk Thistle (80% Extract): Contains phytonutrients that fight oxidative stress and support liver health. Make sure to use the highest, 80% extract. *
Turmeric (95% curcuminoids Extract): Has numerous health benefits, such as supporting:
