Medical laboratories now subdivide total cholesterol measurement into several components including low density lipoproteins (LDL) (bad cholesterol) and high density lipoproteins (HDL) (good cholesterol).

Elevated blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels lead to plaque-filled arteries. This condition will reduce blood flow to the brain, heart and other areas of the body. High cholesterol levels are among the primary causes of heart disease, because cholesterol produces fatty deposits in arteries.

Many important nutritional approaches to protecting against arteriosclerosis are aimed at lowering serum cholesterol

levels because people with elevated cholesterol levels are much more likely to suffer from arteriosclerosis.

Cholester X Plus is a proprietary blend of herbs and vitamins formulated to support healthy cholesterol. It contains Gugulipid, which is extracted from the gum of the plant Commiphora mukul, and has been used by Ayurvedic practitioners in India for centuries for the management of healthy cholesterol. This formulation also uses Pantethine, which is also known to lower lipid levels. Also included is CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a micronutrient essential to all human life. It is a naturally occurring nutrient that works as a co-factor in the body’s electron transport system where all of the body’s energy is derived. CoQ10 regulates the flow of oxygen moving in and out of the mitochondria, which are the cell’s power plants. The body’s cellular power plants can’t function without CoQ10.
 

Declines in CoQ10 levels occur with advancing age and appear to be correlated with deterioration of the immune system. Supplementation with CoQ10 could help to boost energy levels, strengthen and protect the heart and blood vessels, enhance the immune system and protect against free radical damage.
