FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Blocks the absorption of dietary cholesterol.
- Helps lower high cholesterol levels.
Thompsons Cholesterol Manager contains phytosterols to help lower high cholesterol levels and to assist in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels once a balance has been obtained.
Phytosterols are plant compounds with a very similar chemical structure to cholesterol. Phytosterols are able to block the absorption of dietary cholesterol, reducing LDL cholesterol levels by up to 24% over a period of 4 - 8 weeks.
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has released a study that shows plant sterols may lower cholesterol as much as statins (cholesterol lowering medications). After just four weeks, the low-fat diet with added plant sterol esters and fibre led to a 28.6 percent decrease in `bad' low-density lipoprotein (LDL) form of cholesterol. Those taking statins had a 30.9 percent reduction.
Supplementation of plant sterols may be an option in lowering cholesterol for those who prefer not to take cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins. Thompsons Cholesterol Manager can be taken safely alongside any pharmaceutical medications. These plant compounds have been tested extensively at much greater than the recommended dosage without any of the adverse effects.
Dietary supplementation with omega-3 fish oil has also been clinically proven to help improve cholesterol levels.
