CHOLESTROSAN

Why a high cholesterol level is dangerous

More and more people are hearing the sentence "Your cholesterol level is too high" after a blood test. Older people, people with a hereditary predisposition, overweight people or those on the wrong diet often suffer from an excessively high level of bad "LDL" cholesterol in their blood (the good cholesterol is called "HDL"). It is then often recommended that people change their diet, lose weight and take more exercise. If this is not done, there is a risk of serious consequences.

This is because elevated levels of blood lipids such as cholesterol are one of the most common causes of heart attacks, strokes and the preceding blockage of the arteries. A (too) high cholesterol level indicates that the body is trying to prevent the hardening of arteries in this way. This is because "arteriosclerosis", also known simply as "hardening of the arteries", is the most common cause of diseases of the cardiovascular system, which are responsible for almost half of all deaths in Germany every year.

A basic distinction is made between "bad" LDL cholesterol and "good" HDL cholesterol. The bad cholesterol can easily enter the bloodstream and adheres to the walls of blood vessels. These fatty deposits lead to arteriosclerosis.

Chemically produced cholesterol-lowering agents, which are administered to treat high cholesterol, can have considerable side effects (a glance at the package insert can easily turn into a "shock"). Since cholesterol-lowering drugs often have to be taken by many patients for years or even a lifetime, the aim must be to use natural (!) remedies. We are convinced that you will find the best and highest quality ingredients in CHOLESTROSAN - they can help to normalize cholesterol levels in a completely natural way.

Artichoke - lowers cholesterol levels and body weight

High blood lipid or cholesterol levels can lead to many diseases. And it usually all starts with the kilos you have put on over time. This is because there is often a connection between being overweight and blood lipid levels. For those who often eat fatty foods, these fats are lurking everywhere:

• Cholesterol (eggs, meat, etc.)
• Triglycerides (vegetable oils, animal fats, etc.)
• Fatty acids of different sizes (chain length of the molecule) and saturation (saturated or unsaturated fatty acids)

The amount of these fats we consume is not only reflected on the scales, but also in our blood lipid values.

Artichoke in CHOLESTROSAN can provide support here in two ways: Because artichoke can help to lower blood lipid levels* (cholesterol etc.) and reduce body weight!* In addition, artichoke contributes to the normal functioning of the liver, intestines and heart.

The most valuable ingredient in artichokes is called cynarin - for digestion

Artichokes contain many valuable nutrients. The most important is the so-called "cynarin". Cynarin is a plant substance that belongs to the organic caffeic acid compounds. The aromatic cynarin is primarily responsible for the production of bile, which in turn supports the digestion of dietary fats.* At 20 mg per recommended daily intake, the cynarin content in CHOLESTROSAN is higher than in most other products.

Alfalfa - for the digestion of dietary fats

Digestion refers to the breakdown of food in the digestive tract. How long the digestion process takes depends on the food components. Carbohydrates are digested and utilized the fastest, followed by proteins. Dietary fats take the longest to be digested - this can take up to three days.

Alfalfa in CHOLESTROSAN normalizes digestion - which is necessary to break down stubborn dietary fats - and also promotes the loss of excess body weight*.

Curcuma - used for digestion and liver for 5,000 years

The ancient scriptures of the Indian Vedas show that turmeric was not only one of the most important spices of its time 5,000 years ago, but was also used for health purposes. Many people even considered turmeric to be sacred. In the traditional Indian teachings of Ayurveda, turmeric plays a very important role both today and in the past: it is one of the "hot" spices that are popular for their cleansing and energizing properties. In Europe, turmeric has been well known as a liver and bile remedy since ancient times.

Today, turmeric is used in CHOLESTROSAN. To support digestion, liver function - and a normally functioning cardiovascular system*.

Beta-sitosterol - the sterols of plants

Beta-sitosterol is a substance found in the cell membranes of various plants. These so-called plant sterols, or phytosterols, are responsible, among other things, for maintaining the stability of cell membranes under adverse environmental conditions and regulating the transport of nutrients in and out of the plant cells.

Phytosterols are added to foods, such as margarine, for people with high cholesterol levels, as they compete with cholesterol in the intestine and thus prevent it from being absorbed into the blood.

Choline for fat metabolism*

The vital micronutrient choline transports the fatty acids (triglycerides) from the liver to the places needed in the body. If the body lacks choline, the metabolic process is disrupted and more fat is stored in the liver. A so-called "fatty liver" can no longer perform its functions to a sufficient extent and can only detoxify the body to a limited extent. Choline is therefore essential for maintaining a normal fat metabolism and a functioning liver* - which is precisely why it is an important ingredient in our CHOLESTROSAN.
