CHOLESTRO forte with BERGAVIT

The cholesterol problem

Cholesterol, a blood fat, is and remains an important health issue - discussions usually revolve around the limit values. However, this does not change the fact, proven by studies, that lowering cholesterol clearly contributes to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. More than two thirds of all Western Europeans live with a cholesterol level of more than 200 milligrams per deciliter of blood. For a third, it is even more than 250 mg/dl. Incidentally, 100-130 mg/dl is considered harmless. These values alone do not necessarily mean danger. However, in combination with other risk factors, health problems are likely - especially if the fat metabolism is disturbed. This is because cholesterol then accumulates dangerously in the blood vessel walls.

What diseases can be the result?

A normally functioning lipid metabolism is the basis for a normal cholesterol level. Too much cholesterol in the blood (especially the "bad LDL cholesterol") can lead to many serious illnesses. These include circulatory disorders, heart attacks, strokes, vision problems, dizziness, etc. The more accompanying risk factors there are, the more dangerous it becomes for the body ...

A high cholesterol level or a disturbed fat metabolism can be dangerous in conjunction with the following risk factors:

• Obesity

• smoking

• stress

• Cardiovascular disease

• diabetes

• High blood pressure

• Increased blood clotting tendency

• Taking certain medications

• Hereditary cholesterol problems ("familial hypercholesterolemia")

• Older age (from 60)

• Gender (men are more at risk, women only after the menopause)

How to lower your cholesterol level

The aim should be to control cholesterol levels and the associated risk factors in a natural way. This can be achieved on the one hand with more exercise and a healthy diet (to lose excess weight), and on the other hand by adopting a healthier lifestyle (reducing stress, giving up smoking, etc.).

As far as fat metabolism is concerned, the ingredients of CHOLESTRO forte can help to normalize it.* The main ingredient of CHOLESTRO forte - the innovative, 100% natural vital substance complex - is the scientifically researched branded raw material ^Bergavit®.

^Bergavit® - the branded raw material from the Spanish sun

^Bergavit® is a powdered extract of the polyphenols contained in the juice of the citrus fruit bergamot. Legend has it that Christopher Columbus took the bergamot fruit from the northern Spanish town of Berga (this is the origin of the name "bergamot") to his Italian homeland. There, on the Calabrian coast in Italy, the citrus fruit found ideal growing conditions. Bergamot juice is still used for medicinal purposes in these regions today.

Columbus' preferences ... all well and good. Today, however, we prefer to rely on scientifically based studies.

**Scientific studies show positive results

In recent years, numerous studies on the intake of flavonoids from bergamot have shown positive results - e.g. that bergamot flavonoids are able to reduce and control the "bad" LDL cholesterol and increase the "good" HDL cholesterol.

Studies have also reported positive results for the cardiovascular system with ^BERGAVIT®: 80 people were given 150 mg of bergamot flavonoids (from ^BERGAVIT®) once a day for six months. The results showed that supplementation with ^BERGAVIT® led to a reduction in dangerous deposits in the arteries.

Homocysteine - the new cholesterol? Choline can help.

High cholesterol levels are often the cause of heart attacks and strokes. This is now well known. The latest research assumes that high homocysteine levels are also responsible for this - and even for 10% of all heart attacks and strokes. In addition, too much homocysteine has a negative effect on cell health, which is associated with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

This is why CHOLESTRO forte contains choline as well as ^BERGAVIT® . Choline not only contributes to normal fat metabolism, but also to normal homocysteine levels*.

But CHOLESTRO forte can do even more!

Vitamin A, vitamin E, zinc and selenium round off the CHOLESTRO forte product - and support the normalization of the immune system, energy metabolism, fatty acid metabolism and help to protect human cells from oxidative stress.*

This unique and patented combination of vital substances in one capsule makes CHOLESTRO forte your perfect, natural companion.
