It is a fat-like substance used to form cell membranes, support digestion, produce steroid hormones and make vitamin D from sunlight. After being made in the liver, cholesterol travels through the circulatory system. Cholesterol levels in the body can also be influenced by what we eat. There are different forms of cholesterol including LDL (low density lipoprotein) sometimes called ‘bad’ cholesterol, which can build up to unhealthy levels in the blood stream, and HDL (high density lipoprotein) sometimes called ‘good’ cholesterol which can help remove LDL from the blood stream, carrying it back to the liver for processing. A third type of cholesterol known as triglycerides are helpful for energy when kept in balance but can pose a health risk particularly for liver health when out of balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eKeeping both “good” HDL and “bad” LDL cholesterol in healthy check is vital.

The main advantage of using extracted herbs is that the phytochemicals are more concentrated and provide more potent health support. Herbal constituents that may be lost during the extraction process are preserved with the use of non-extracted herbs, which is why some products include both options in the formulation. A standardised herbal extract is one that has one or more phytochemicals present in a specific, guaranteed amount. Standardisation normally involves measuring the amount of at least one or two phytochemicals that have been researched and identified as having health benefits when taken at a particular dose. This dual use makes for a more potent formulation that unites the benefits of traditionally used whole-herbs with the evidence-based efficacy of particular plant constituents well-researched for their health effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eVitamin C (as ascorbyl palmitate) 50 mg, Calcium (as calcium citrate) 50 mg, Red Yeast Rice (\u003cem\u003eMonascus purpureus\u003c\/em\u003e) 600 mg, Phytosterol Complex (from non-GMO soy) (40% [160 mg] beta sitosterol) 400 mg, Guggal resin extract (\u003cem\u003eCommiphora mukul\u003c\/em\u003e) (2.5% [5mg] guggusterones) 200 mg, Cholesstrinol HP™ (citrus flavonoids\/palm tocotrienols) 100 mg, Bile Salt (Ox Bile) 50 mg, CoQ10 30 mg.
