Product Description
The promotion of healthy blood cholesterol has become a national obsession resulting in the sale of billions of dollars worth of cholesterol lowering drugs, mainly of the statin type. Lowering blood cholesterol with statin drugs in groups of individuals that are at high risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke is documented to be cost effective and appropriate in medical practice. What may be questioned about these drugs is the use as a first line option to lower blood cholesterol without paying appropriate attention to lifestyle adjustments and nutritional interventions to promote a healthy blood cholesterol level. The statin group of drugs causes common side effects and, on occasion, they cause serious adverse effects including, skin rashes, liver problems and severe damage to muscles that can result in death. Dr. Holt believes that the first line option to deal with cholesterol problems involves lifestyle change with specific dietary adjustments and the use of dietary supplements or foods that are known to lower bad forms of cholesterol (low density lipoproteins, LDL) and increase good forms of cholesterol (high density lipoproteins, HDL).

Drugs used to lower blood cholesterol exert most of their effects on lowering LDL only. Recently, drugs have been developed that may both lower LDL and increase HDL. That said, natural agents are more versatile at raising HDL than modern drugs. Furthermore, natural substances that provide nutritional support to promote a healthy blood cholesterol are safe and they not share the adverse event profile of commonly used cholesterol lowering drugs and they are often less expensive.

The manufacturers of statin drugs are fully aware that these drugs deplete the body stores of co-enzyme Q10. Furthermore, statin drugs are often prescribed to people with the metabolic Syndrome X for their disorders of blood cholesterol, but individuals with Syndrome X may often have underlying liver disease due to fatty liver. This means that a large proportion of the target population using statin drugs have disordered liver function and the commonest reason for an individual to stop taking a statin drug is liver toxicity. Therefore, common sense would question the widespread use of statin drugs in people with the metabolic Syndrome X and one may appreciate why so many people on statin drugs have to stop these medications because they develop laboratory abnormalities that signal the presence of liver damage. This information has been brushed under the carpet by the pharmaceutical industry.

There are several compelling reasons why one would elect to take a safe, natural and simple approach to controlling blood cholesterol. Furthermore, the risk of heart disease and stroke is not all about cholesterol alone. Elevated blood homocysteine and body inflammation are important independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol lowering drugs do not address the problem of elevated blood homocysteine. Many of the 70 million Americans with the metabolic Syndrome X have elevated blood cholesterol related to insulin resistance and, again, drugs used to lower cholesterol do not address insulin resistance.

Cholesterol Naturally™ is a dietary supplement to promote healthy blood cholesterol and a healthy blood homocysteine level. It contains botanical agents that may partially modify aspects of the normal body function of an inflammatory response. There is no complex, synergistic formula for promoting a healthy blood cholesterol that has the versatility of Cholesterol Naturally™ which has been referred to as Ultimate Cholesaid.

 What is High Cholesterol?

Although it is by no means the only major risk factor, elevated serum (blood) cholesterol is clearly associated with a high risk of heart disease.

Most doctors suggest cholesterol levels should stay under 200 mg/dl. As levels fall below 200, the risk of heart disease continues to decline. Many doctors consider cholesterol levels of no more than 180 to be optimal. A low cholesterol level, however, is not a guarantee of good heart health, as some people with low levels do suffer heart attacks.

Medical laboratories now subdivide total cholesterol measurement into several components, including LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, which is directly linked to heart disease, and HDL (“good”) cholesterol, which is protective. The relative amount of HDL to LDL is more important than total cholesterol. For example, it is possible for someone with very high HDL to be at relatively low risk for heart disease even with total cholesterol above 200. Evaluation of changes in cholesterol requires consultation with a healthcare professional and should include measurement of total serum cholesterol, as well as HDL and LDL cholesterol.

The following discussion is limited to information about lowering serum cholesterol levels or increasing HDL cholesterol using natural approaches. Because high cholesterol is linked to atherosclerosis and heart disease, people concerned about heart disease should also learn more about atherosclerosis.
