Policosanol is derived from the wax of sugar cane.
It seems to block the formation of cholesterol in
the liver. It also contributes to maintaining
healthful platelet aggregation. Plant sterols from
Chlorella are included to displace animal
cholesterol which would otherwise be
absorbed.
Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant grape extract.
Its benefits were discovered while researching the
unexpected benefits of wine on LDL and triglyceride
levels. Artichoke powder (Cynara scolymus) is a
strongly bitter herb. Typical of bitters, it
stimulates healthful liver function which increases
the flow of bile. Bile is a high‑cholesterol fluid
that transports the products of liver detoxification
to the small intestine and helps to break down and
digest fats. Fiber intake is also needed to absorb
cholesterol and carry it out for elimination.
Research: Artichoke (6 clinical trials) The
standardized extract has been used to treat high
cholesterol and triglycerides. In one controlled
trial, use of artichoke extract was “found to lower
cholesterol and triglycerides significantly”.
