Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that performs several
important functions for the metabolism.
It helps to manufacture bile, which
is needed for digestion. It also assists in metabolizing certain vitamins and
hormones, and is needed for the structure and integrity of cell membranes. As
cholesterol cannot travel in the bloodstream alone, the liver bundles it with a
protein into a structure called a lipoprotein, before releasing it into the
bloodstream.
Many people associate cholesterol with heart
disease, but not all lipoproteins are bad for the cardiovascular
system. High-density lipoprotein (HDL or “good” cholesterol) actually
removes excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and returns it to the liver to
be eliminated from the body. It is the low-density lipoproteins (LDL or “bad”
cholesterol) that may cause problems. If the ratio of LDL to HDL in the
bloodstream is high, LDL tends to attach to the inner walls of the blood
vessels, and gradually accumulate over time, because there is insufficient HDL
to remove it. If enough build-up occurs, it restricts the diameter of the blood
vessel, and causes the vessel walls to harden. This reduced blood flow and
hardening of the arteries is potentially very dangerous to health.
Cholesterol levels are greatly determined by genetics, but
“lifestyle” factors can also significantly influence our cholesterol levels.
Factors which may support an increase in LDL include an unhealthy diet with too
much saturated fats, and not enough fiber, a sedentary lifestyle, consumption of
alcohol, or stress.
Cholestone is intended to
provide nutritional support for a healthy cholesterol level, and a healthy ratio
of high-density to low-density lipoproteins. Omega 3 fatty acids have been shown
to beneficially affect blood cholesterol and lipid levels, and Flax seed oil is
one of the richest sources of Omega 3 in nature. Apple pectin is a water-soluble
fiber, which participates in maintaining normal cholesterol levels and
ameliorating blood lipid levels. Garlic also affects positively blood lipid
levels. Lecithin plays an important role in fat metabolism. Vitamins C and E
participate in the protection of polyunsaturated fatty acids against free
radicals. Chromium influences carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism.
