Key Ingredients
Plant Sterols
Plant sterols, also known as phytosterols, naturally occur in various plant sources such as nuts, grains, and seeds. They function as cholesterol-lowering agents by blocking the absorption of cholesterol from food and the re-absorption of cholesterol manufactured by the liver in the digestive tract. Over 100 human studies support the LDL-lowering properties of plant sterols, showing an approximate decrease of up to 12% in LDL levels safely. Additionally, dietary plant sterols play a protective role in prostate health, improving urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate.
Organic Pomegranate
Pomegranate is rich in phytochemical compounds, including punicalagins and ellagic acid, which benefit the heart and blood vessels by lowering blood pressure and helping to reduce heart blockages. LDL Biotect™ contains a pomegranate fruit extract (Pomanox®) that has been found to reduce blood pressure in randomized controlled trials, promoting overall cardiovascular health.
Organic Chokeberry
Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) is an antioxidant-rich fruit that has been studied for its potential to promote cardiovascular health. A meta-analysis of seven studies on chokeberry juice or chokeberry extract supplements concluded that chokeberry reduced systolic blood pressure and total cholesterol, supporting heart health and reducing cardiovascular risks.
Organic Amla Fruit
Amla, also called Indian gooseberry, is the antioxidant-rich fruit of a tree native to India. Randomized controlled trials on amla powders or extracts have found reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. This supports cardiovascular health by promoting healthier lipid profiles and reducing the risk of heart disease.
