Herbs & Supplements for Cholesterol Control
Cholesterol Control herbs, herbal formulas and supplements - cholesterol risk factors - Statin substitute.
Regardless of race or gender, anyone diagnosed with both high blood pressure and high cholesterol is at greater danger for heart disease and stroke than people without these health challenges.
High cholesterol works quietly, which makes it difficult to detect its dangers. Even if you feel fine, over time high cholesterol can slowly damage the walls of your blood vessels with no obvious symptoms.
Cholesterol Risk Factors
Anyone who meets one of the following criteria is at danger for developing high cholesterol:
- Woman 50 years or older
- Man 40 years or older
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Family history of heart disease or high cholesterol
Or two or more of the following:
- Overweight
- Physically inactive
- Smoker
- High blood pressure
Cholesterol levels can be determined with a simple blood test. Your total cholesterol includes LDL and HDL cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol is known as the "bad" cholesterol because it builds up in the walls of your arteries, forming plaque. Plaque restricts blood flow to your heart and brain, which increases your chances of having a stroke or heart attack.
HDL cholesterol is called the "good" cholesterol because it helps your body get rid of the harmful LDL cholesterol. Higher HDL cholesterol reduces your risk of heart disease.
Triglycerides are another type of fat in your blood that can contribute to hardening of the arteries.
The levels of HDL, LDL and total cholesterol are all indicators for atherosclerosis and heart attack risk. People who have a cholesterol level of 275 or greater (200 or less is desirable) are at a dangerous risk for a heart attack, despite a favorable HDL level. People who have normal cholesterol levels but low HDL levels are also at increased risk for a heart attack.
According to the late Dr. Atkins: One of the two key reasons why statin drugs should not be the first line of defense is safety.
In some cases, a small percentage of people who take statin drugs develop nerve damage; others report muscle damage. There also is the possibility of elevating liver enzymes, suggesting that statins may cause liver damage. Statin drugs deplete the body’s stores of co-enzyme Q10, and research shows that women with low levels of coQ10 are at higher risk for breast cancer. Statins also have been linked to erectile dysfunction.
Advanced Cholesterol
Advanced Cholesterol works by lowering your LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, while raising the levels of HDL cholesterol in your bloodstream.
Available without a prescription, Advanced Cholesterol is an all natural product, which reduces cholesterol levels with the same results as expensive statin drugs only with the additional benefit of being completely safe.
Advanced Cholesterol is scientifically formulated with herbs that have been safely used in Asia for many centuries. Shan Zha (Fructus Crataegi), also known as Chinese Hawthorn Fruit, has been used medicinally in China for 2500 years. Our Hawthorn fruit concentrate decreases total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. It has powerful antioxidant activity of phenolic proanthocyanidin and flavonoids.
Advanced Cholesterol also contains Gugulipid. This herb significantly lowers triglycerides, total cholesterol, total serum lipids and significantly increases HDL.
The main ingredient in Advanced Cholesterol is Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum).
This longevity herb possesses a broad range of health benefits. Our Jiaogulan concentrate decreases cholesterol by improving the liver’s ability to send sugar and carbohydrates to the muscles for conversion into energy instead of turning the sugar into triglycerides, which the body stores as fat.
Jiaogulan concentrate improves fat metabolism, reduces blood fat levels and lowers LDL while raising HDL. Jiaogulan has four times the amount of saponins as ginseng. It has a powerful regulatory effect on a number of areas, such as blood pressure, the digestive system, the reproductive system and the immune system. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Advanced Cholesterol re-establishes the natural balance in your body while restoring vitality. Advanced Cholesterol is in a base of Quercetin and Resveratrol. Resveratol is a a polyphenol found in grapes and other plants. Quercetin is found to be the most active of the flavonoids and has significant anti-inflammatory activity.
