Ingredients : Cholesterol Supplements

Ingredients of various leading cholesterol lowering supplements include:

Policosanol

Policosanol is a pure extract of sugar cane wax, and is one of the most effective ways of naturally lowering cholesterol. It has been demonstrated to not only lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, but also raise HDL (good) cholesterol.

Niacin

Nicotinic acid (Niacin) lowers total and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and raises HDL cholesterol. As the actual dose needed for treatment is about 100 times more than the Recommended Daily Allowance for Niacin and is potentially toxic, the drug needs to be taken under a doctor's supervision.

Omega 3 Fish Oils

Omega 3 fatty acids from fish and plant sources reduce blood clotting, which is responsible of many heart attacks and arrythmia.

They have effected a decrease in triglycerides, arrythmia, thrombosis, plaque, blood pressure and increased arterial health.

Red Yeast Rice

Chinese Red Yeast Rice (RYR / Monascus Purpureus) contains active ingredients including lovastatin which lowers lipid levels. It helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, naturally. It is one of the most effective ways of controlling cholesterol through diet.

It has been used in China for centuries as food and medicine and is made by fermenting a type of yeast known as Monascus Purpureus over red rice. It is also known for its various other medicinal properties which deal with problems ranging from those connected with blood circulation to indigestion.
