Cholesterol Support
This is a fatty substance, which is required to manufacture the sex hormones as well as essential for brain and nerve function. A high level of cholesterol in the blood stream results in the impeding the flow of blood to vital organs including brain, kidneys, genitals and heart. Because cholesterol is a fatty substance and because the blood is made up of a lot of water, cholesterol has to latch onto molecules called lipoproteins, namely Low Density Lipoproteins ( LDL) These are considered to be bad cholesterols. There is another type of protein called High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) and this takes the cholesterol back to the liver where it is destroyed and where new production also takes place. Cholesterol levels are greatly affected by your diet but the genetic make up also plays a great role. Supplement recommendation include essential fatty acids, lecithin, plant sterols, red yeast rice, garlic and Co-Enzyme Q10 which supports circulation. It is an antioxidant that is structurally similar to Vitamin E. Co-Enzyme Q10 is critical in the generation of cellular energy. It is found in the highest concentrations in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas. Co-Enzyme Q10 is also depleted by statins so is worth taking for anyone on this sort of cholesterol medication.
