Product Information
OPTICHOL is a high quality, effective, safe product. Numerous clinical studies have shown that the ingredients have lowered LDL cholesterol and increased HDL cholesterol an average of 25% within 8 weeks. Research has shown that these ingredients slow down the activity of the enzyme HMG-reductase the liver uses to make cholesterol.
A healthy diet and an exercise program are also important to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
The ingredients in OPTICHOL have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation, prevent thrombosis, and reduce triglyceride levels by up to 36%, burn fat in the blood reducing potential for clotting.
Policosanol-derived from sugar cane wax, has been shown to reduce LDL levels, reduce platlet aggregation and can inhibit artherosclerotic lesions of cerebral ischemia. Policosanol has proven to be a safe and effective agent to use.
Phytosterol complexes are structurally similar to cholesterol with the exception of differences at the sterol side chain. Phytosterols are able to be metabolized in the liver into C21 bile acids via liver resulting in cholesterol reduction due to displacement of cholesterol from micelles. Most human studies show that phytosterols reduce serum/or plasma total cholesterol and lower density lipo protein cholesterol levels.
COQ10-studies have shown that Chinese Red Yeast Rice reduce CoQ10 levels in the blood, muscles and heart tissues and that supplementation with CoQ10 may restore levels to normal, thereby preventing elevations of liver enzymes.
Suggested Dosage: 3 capsules, two times daily for 6 weeks, reducing to 3 capsules daily thereafter.
