Reduce Cholesterol Naturally
There are natural cholesterol treament and control programs without the use of statin drugs. f you are suffering from high cholesterol levels and are not happy about taking drugs for the rest of your life there may be help. Medical studies have repeatedly shown 20-40% reductions in cholesterol, especially LDL cholesterol, from using natural remedies.
To date a number of substances have been shown to be highly effective, perhaps as effective as the statin drugs, but without the side effects.
There are two ways that your body can have high cholesterol levels. The first can come from ingesting it with the food you eat. The second, and more difficult to address is the cholesterol that you liver makes. Statin drugs affect the liver and thus the reported side effects. Natural substances work in a variety of ways. Some directly work with the liver to increase the bile flow. Some work by blocking the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines. Others work by decreasing the amount of cholesterol that your body makes.
In practice we see that one size does not fit all. For this reason we offer a number of different products. It can take some experimentation on your part to find the right combination. We have included some of the best products we have come across. They are supported by the literature and by clinical experience. If you are concerned about your lipid levels we suggest a baseline blood test of your total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglyeride levels. Then try one or two of the suggested products, wait 2 to 3 months and then retest. This will give you a good idea of how well the program is working. If you do not get the results you are looking for try a different combination of products and redo the testing.
As always if you have any concerns consult your physician.

Carnitine Synergy by Designs for Health
All Designs for Health products are made with pharmacutical grade ingredients and are of the highest quality and purity. This product does not contain wheat, yeast, soy, corn, dairy products, or preservatives.
What if there were one nutrient which could help you lose weight, increase energ , lower cholesterol, and promote heart health? Carnitine does all that and more. Carnitine accomplishes this by promoting fat burning. Carnitine is the only nutrient that can transport fat to the part of the cell that burns it off: the mitochondria. If you can’t get fat into the mitochondria, you can’t burn it. So no carnitine, no fat burning. Higher carnitine levels, on the other hand, allow our body to burn fat at an optimal rate. Carnitine is sometimes called an amino acid, but it is not. It is similar in structure
to B vitamins, especially choline. However, carnitine is not a true vitamin because the body makes it in small amounts. Carnitine is also found in animal products, especially red meat. Unless you are eating pounds of red meat a day, however, you are probably not getting enough carnitine.
Signs of inadequate carnitine intake include:
Fatigue
Progressive Weight Gain
High Cholesterol and Triglycerides
Weak Heart Function
Lack of Mental Focus
Poor Immune Function1

Choleast by Thorne Rearch
Choleast (red yeast rice extract) is an extract from Monascus purpureneus WENT, an organism grown on rice. After centuries of use in traditional Chinese medicine, it was discovered that red yeast rice is a potent inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis. Choleast helps support a healthy balance of cholesterol and related blood lipids.

CoQ-Quinol by Premier Research Labs
The worlds only source of fully-reduced CoQ-10. Immediately available for cell energy boosting. No amount of ordinary CoQ-10 (which is oxidized ubiquinone) can equal the effects of even one dose of CoQ-Quinol, which is fully reduced ubiquinol.
CoQ-Quinol has been produced using a revolutionary patent pending nanization process that brings normally unstable super nutrients to a stable, and super biologically available form.
CoQ-quinol can significantly help recover cells that are in a low-energy tailspin and prevent certain cell death even when their energy level has dropped below their ability to bread the downward spiral using oxidized CoQ-10. This means that CoQ-quinol can be a major player to overcome low cell energy often seen in neurotransmitter hyperactivity and unchecked free radical production.
CoQ-Quinol can also accelerate cellular detoxification of heavy metals and other toxic chemicals
CoQ-Quinol 55 mg per1/4 teaspoon

Foresterol by Designs for Health
PROVEN EFFICACY Reducol®, the active ingredient in ForesterolTM, is so effective at lowering cholesterol that the FDA authorized cholesterol lowering claims with the assertion that it may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Reducol® has also been granted GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status by the FDA. According to research by de Graaf et al, ingestion of 1.8 g of Reducol® per day (3 Caps of Foresterol) for four weeks in patients with baseline elevations of plasma cholesterol, total cholesterol was reduced by 6.4% and LDL cholesterol was reduced by 10.3%. Levels of plasma HDL cholesterol and triglycerides were not affected.
In another study, Jones of McGill University notes that sterol supplementation significantly decreased the estimated cholesterol concentrations within small, medium, and large LDL particles by 13.4, 13.5, and 14.4% respectively.4 He quotes, “Plant sterols and exercise favourably alter lipid profiles in a way that protect against future coronary heart disease (CHD).
ForesterolTM by Designs for Health contains Reducol®, a phytosterol mixture that has significant LDL cholesterol lowering properties as evidenced by research and years of clinical use.
HOW DOES FORESTEROL LOWER CHOLESTEROL?
When ingested, phytosterols inhibit absorption of cholesterol, thereby lowering plasma total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. ForesterolTM consists mainly of the 4 major phytosterols: beta-sitosterol, campesterol (in the free sterol form, not as sterol esters) and campestanol, sitostanol. It has been shown to inhibit absorption of both dietary and biliary cholesterol from the small intestine, therefore even vegetarians with no dietary cholesterol benefit from ForesterolTM. It is important to know that much of the cholesterol found in serum is derived from intestinal reuptake of cholesterol that has been deposited into the intestine from the liver and gall bladder.
HOW TO TAKE FORESTEROL
Take 3 capsules daily (yielding 1800 mg plant sterols), one with each meal or 3 altogether with the largest meal. Studies show that doses higher than 2 g had little added effect. Foresterol may ideally be combined with UltraTrienols Plus by Designs for Health as these work via different mechanisms. The latter products reduce cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This would attack the problem from two different angles simultaneously which would be ideal.

Plant Sterols 1,800 mg

Niacin Supreme 120 Capsules by Designs for Health
We have combined no-flush niacin(inositol hexanicotinate) with key B vitamins and chromium. Research suggests that one should never take niacin without folic acid, B6 and B12. Niacin alone raises homocysteine, but with these other Bs this is unlikely to occur. Chromium helps to potentiate many of niacin's beneficial effects.*

UltraTrienols Plus by Designs for Health
This cholesterol support product is now better than ever. In addition to the tocopherol-free Annatto Tocotrienols (formerly called UltraTrienols), this formula now also includes the heavily researched polyphenol, resveratrol, along with Neptune Krill Oil. Krill oil has a unique biomolecular profile of phospholipids naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, and diverse antioxidants significantly different from the usual profile of fish oils. This trio of healthful nutrients is a proprietary blend, being evaluated now on 30 patients in a double-blind placebo controlled study at the Hypertension Institute in Nashville, Tennessee, directed by Mark Houston MD, MSc, and funded by Designs for Health, Neptune Technologies, and American River Nutrition. The impact of this product on serum lipids (TC, LDL, HDL, TG), LDL particle number and size, lipoprotein a and other metabolic parameters will be evaluated – the first study of its kind. Results to be disclosed.
Research on Neptune Krill Oil A study published on the effects of Neptune Krill Oil on cholesterol levels showed that krill oil supplementation in humans had positive effects on LDL levels at varying doses. Krill oil at a daily dose of 1 g, 1.5 g, 2 g, or 3 g achieved significant reductions of LDL of 32, 36, 37, and 39 percent, respectively. Baseline levels were decreased in the krill oil 1-g/day group from 168 medal to 114 mg/dL, in the 1.5-g/day group from 165 mg/dL to 106 mg/dL, and in the 2- and 3-g/day groups from 183 mg/dL and 173 mg/dL to 114 mg/dL and 105 mg/dL, respectively. 2 grams of krill oil daily lowered triglycerides by 28% as compared to 3 g of fish oil daily which did not achieve a significant reduction in triglycerides.
Patients taking only 1 g of krill oil for 90 days had a reduction in triglycerides of 12%. This increased up to 25% when they were kept on a maintenance dose of .5 g krill oil for another 90 days. Patients on only 1 g of krill oil lowered glucose levels by 6.3%. Because Krill Oil also naturally contains five built-in antioxidants, it is 47 times more resistant to peroxidation than fish oil and is extremely protective against free radicals.
Who Should Take UltraTrienols Plus?
Patients wishing to avoid atherosclerotic heart disease, patients with stents, patients with Metabolic Syndrome, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, and those with a family history of cancer. All patients over the age of 50 will benefit from the protective effects of UltraTrienols Plus, especially smokers.
For supporting healthy lipid levels, particularly cholesterol, try UltraTrienols Plus.
How to Take UltraTrienols Plus:
For best results, this product should be taken at night with dinner and away from tocopherol containing products. According to a study performed by Bristol Myers Squibb, tocopherol vitamin E attenuates the effect of tocotrienols on cholesterol lowering.For best results, take 2 UltraTrienols Plus softgels every night with dinner in order to have an impact on the high diurnal synthesis of cholesterol. For an additive effect, take UltraTrienols Plus daily along with Foresterol, 1 with each meal daily. Each 2 Softgel Contains:
