What is cholesterol and why do we need it balanced?

Cholesterol is not a bad thing, it’s actually a much-needed substance in the body! 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.

Keeping both “good” HDL and “bad” LDL cholesterol in healthy check is vital. Choles-T® is formulated with ingredients to help maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels already in the normal range, support heart health, and natural liver function.

What’s inside Choles-T®?

• Red Yeast Rice – supports blood lipid balance via its inhibitory action on the liver enzyme responsible for manufacturing cholesterol.
• Phytosterols - plant steroid compounds similar in structure to cholesterol that help naturally balance total and LDL cholesterol concentrations.
• Guggal - a traditional Ayurvedic resin that supports the maintenance of balanced cholesterol levels via a number of mechanisms including liver enzyme inhibition and intestinal absorption from the diet.
• Cholesstrinol™ HP (High Potency) - is a patented, scientifically-researched combination of citrus flavones and palm tocotrienols with eriocitrin, shown to support healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and provide powerful antioxidant benefits. The palm tocotrienols in Cholesstrino HP™ are derived from sustainably sourced palm oil.
• CoQ10 – a much-needed co-factor for heart health and mitochondrial function, supporting the energy requirements of heart cells and cardiovascular function. Although we are capable of making this nutrient in the body, our ability to make enough rapidly declines as we age and also in the presence of certain pharmaceuticals.
• Bile Salt (from Ox Bile) - supports normal cholesterol levels in the body. Supplemented bile salts are not absorbed through the gut, and upon excretion of these salts the liver upregulates its use of cholesterol to make more bile salts.
• Vitamin C – a potent antioxidant that supports heart health and required to support balanced cholesterol and triglycerides levels.
• Calcium – supports healthy cardiac function, balanced blood pressure and blood lipid levels.

Herbal extracts and standardised constituents explained

LifeSeasons® use a combination of extracted and non-extracted herbs in their formulations. 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.
