Cholesterol 24 Hour Support

Red Yeast Rice – 1200 mg

Numerous clinical studies show Red Yeast Rice works to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme in the liver necessary for cholesterol synthesis. Blocking this enzyme works to promote healthy LDL cholesterol levels.

Green Tea Extract – 640 mg (50% ECGC) High Potency

Green tea contains the catechin epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). EGCG can inhibit apical sodium bile acid transporter in intestinal cells to reduce the amount of bile acids returned to the liver. This decrease in bile acid resorption causes the liver to convert cholesterol from the blood to bile acid – resulting in an uptake of plasma LDL cholesterol.

Clinical studies also show it reduces oxidation of LDL cholesterol when compared with placebo, which promotes health of the vascular endothelium and supports cardiac health.

Policosanol– 20 mg

Medical research shows that policosanol interferes with cholesterol production in the liver, by blocking HMG-CoA reductase or suppressing its activity through promoting its phosphorylation by AMP-kinase.

Additionally, studies suggest that policosanol promotes healthy HDL levels by inhibiting Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) – an enzyme that helps exchange triglycerides and cholesteryl ester between HDL and certain lipoproteins (VLDL & LDL).

Garlic – 600 mg

Clinical research shows the active constituents in garlic powder (alliin & ajoene) inhibit cholesterol synthesis by blocking enzymes including HMG-CoA reductase, sterol 4a-methyl oxidase, squalene epoxidase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Studies show garlic can also boost Nitric Oxide levels to promote smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation for healthy blood pressure.
