No matter what, there will always be some cholesterol in our system. That's because cholesterol doesn't just come from food - it's also created by the body. In fact, the liver produces about 1000 milligrams of this endogenous cholesterol every day.
Luckily, there's Cholesterol Shield™† clinical formula.
This unique combination of two clinically-studied ingredients, pantethine and phytosterols, that work together to:
- Support heart health and healthy cholesterol production.†
- Limit absorption of cholesterol from food.†
- Limit re-absorption of cholesterol from bile.†
How do these two ingredients work?
Phytosterols: the "fat" of plants
The phytosterols in Cholesterol Shield† are essentially the "fat" of plants. Phytosterols are found in nuts, corn and rice and are some of the "good" fats associated with the benefits of olive oil, flaxseed oil and other healthy oils.
Interestingly, the structure of phytosterols is so similar to cholesterol that they fit perfectly in the specially-shaped intestinal "parking spaces" that LDL-cholesterol would normally occupy.
Taken with, or just before meals, phytosterols actually block these cholesterol receptor sites so that cholesterol is excreted from the body rather than absorbed.†
Best yet, Cholesterol Shield's powerful blend of plant sterols is proven to help lower LDL and total cholesterol. Scientific evidence proves that including plant sterols in your diet helps to lower blood total and LDL cholesterol levels. Following a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and consuming 400mg or more of plant sterols twice a day may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Pantethine: Clinically researched
Pantethine is a precursor of coenzyme A, (CoA) which is involved in many functions in the body, including cholesterol synthesis.
Clinical research has demonstrated that pantethine is beneficial for retaining healthy cholesterol levels that are already within normal limits.† Studies show an overall daily dose of 600 mg of pantethine per day is required to achieve this beneficial support.† So far, no studies have found beneficial effects at lower dosages, so these levels are important.
An excellent team
Both phytosterols and pantethine work differently, but toward the same end - supporting healthy cholesterol levels already within normal limits in the body.† The powerful, clinically-tested formula of Cholesterol Shield™ can be an excellent addition to your heart-healthy lifestyle.†
