Product Name : Cholestorite (60 caps) - Herbal Formula for Control of Good and Bad Cholesterol
Description
Cholestorite is a 100% natural, safe, effective and powerful herbal formula to help balance cholesterol levels and reduce the chances of heart disease. Use Cholestorite to reduce levels of LDL
(the 'bad' form of cholesterol).
What are the symptoms of high cholesterol?
High cholesterol levels often exist
without any significant symptoms and many people only discover the
problem after they have had heart problems like angina or even a heart
attack.
If your cholesterol levels are very high,
you may notice small yellow nodules beneath the skin of your eyes,
eyebrows or elbows. Although it is possible to do a home test
(obtainable from your pharmacy), these tests only measure total blood
cholesterol levels and do not measure HDL.
| The best
way to find out whether you have high cholesterol levels is to visit
your doctor, homeopath, naturopath or other health care provider.
Healthy adults should have their
cholesterol levels measured at least every five years and more
frequently if they are overweight, already have a cholesterol
problem or if there is a family history of heart disease or high
cholesterol.
What causes high cholesterol levels?
There is a definite link between high
cholesterol levels and a diet high in dietary cholesterol and
saturated fat, although genetic factors also play an important role.
Smoking, being overweight and insufficient exercise can also
contribute to high cholesterol levels. |

How
is it usually treated?
It is very important to take steps to
control your cholesterol levels. If it is left untreated, high
cholesterol can result in heart disease or even stroke.
The good news is that high cholesterol
can be well controlled by combining a healthy lifestyle with the
correct medical treatment.
This can include synthetic
prescription medication, natural remedies or a combination of both.
If you are already taking prescription medication to control
cholesterol levels, it is important to consult your doctor before
making any changes. |

What is Cholestorite?
Like high blood
pressure and high blood sugar levels, high levels of
LDL cholesterol are recognized as symptoms of
imbalance in the system. Naturopaths recognize that
the whole system and not just the symptoms should be
treated.
Research has
demonstrated that a combination of natural remedies,
regular exercise and dietary changes can make a
significant difference to LDL levels and reduce or
even eliminate the need for prescription drugs. |

Cholestorite contains
the following
therapeutic herbs in a 100% vege-capsule.
Red Yeast Rice (Monascus purpurea) is an
ancient Chinese remedy which has been used for centuries, both
medicinally and in the preservation and coloring of food. The beneficial
effects of Red Yeast Rice on balancing blood cholesterol levels have
also been clinically demonstrated in a number of double blind, placebo
controlling studies involving thousands of people. These studies have
demonstrated that Red Yeast Rice can cut levels of LDL ('bad')
cholesterol by as much as 15%, which compares favorably with similar
cholesterol lowering effects of prescription drugs.
Gugulipid is an extract of Commiphora
mukul, the gum resin of the mukul myrrh tree. It is a highly prized and
well known Ayurvedic herb, used for hundreds of years in the treatment
of obesity and arthritis. Recent studies have shown that gugulipid can
be even more effective than many prescription medications in lowering
cholesterol and tryglyceride levels in the blood. (between 14 and 27%
reduction in cholesterol levels over a 12 week period) Even more
importantly, gugulipid has also been shown to increase levels of
protective HDL cholesterol. Other studies have demonstrated that regular
use of gugulipid has helped to prevent the build up of plaque in the
arteries and even to reverse the build up of existing plaque. It also
prevents blood platelets from sticking together, thereby reducing the
risk of blood clots, which often cause heart attacks. Gugulipid has
powerful anti-oxidant properties, thereby providing protection and
benefit to the entire system.
Aspalathus linearis (Rooibos) is a
medicinal herb indigenous to South Africa and is widely used for its
restorative and anti-oxidant properties. Rooibos can help to control
blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure and enhance immune functioning.
It is an extremely nutritious herb, containing Vitamin C, Alphahydroxy
Acid, potassium, copper, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese and
fluoride.
