Cholesstrinol™ - Patented Bioflavonoid and Tocotrienol Blend

• Cholesstrinol™ is a patented proprietary blend of natural citrus and palm fruit extracts standardized to bioflavonoids and tocotrienols.
• Published placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, peer-reviewed research shows that Cholesstrinol® supports healthy blood lipid levels already within a normal range.†

Pantesin® - A Source of Vitamin B5

• Pantesin® branded pantethine is a clinically researched, ultra-pure ingredient that supports healthy cholesterol levels. A derivative of vitamin B5, pantethine is composed of two molecules of pantothenic acid. It helps increase the activity of coenzyme A, which creates a reduction in cholesterol synthesis.†
• The charts to the right display results of a triple-blind placebo-controlled study of 120 subjects. The participants began the study by modifying their intake with a therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) diet. After four weeks of the modified diet, they began supplementation with pantethine for 16 weeks.†
• Purified, concentrated, and absorbable.†
• Does not block CoQ10.†

Phytosterols - Plant sterol esters

• Phytosterols (also referred to as plant sterols) are a group of naturally occurring compounds found in plant cell membranes.
• Structurally similar to the body’s cholesterol, and when consumed they compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system, resulting in blocked cholesterol absorption and reduced blood cholesterol levels.†
• Lipicept contains 400 milligrams of plant sterols per serving. Foods containing at least 400 milligrams per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a total daily intake of at least 800 milligrams, and as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.†

Milk Thistle - (Silybum marianum)

• Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) has been used for thousands of years as an herbal remedy for a variety of ailments, particularly liver problems.
• Studies suggest that substances in milk thistle (especially a flavonoid called silymarin) protect and heal the liver from damage. The liver is central to the regulation of cholesterol levels, including removing cholesterol from the body. Liver function complications can hinder the organ’s ability to clear cholesterol.†

Policosanol - Medium-chain cane alcohols (Saccharum officinalis)

• Policosanol is an ingredient consisting of medium-chain alcohols extracted from cane (Saccharum officinalis). Studies suggest policosanol decreases cholesterol by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis in the liver.†
