My cholesterol level cut in half after I completed the cleanse. That was one of the reasons why I chose this cleanse. I still eat extremely healthy and work out everyday. All of my blood work numbers are exceptional. I really liked the cleanse. I did it from February 7 through the 21 days and have never felt so good. Good luck. Hope this helps.

My cholesterol was 286. After the detox (3 weeks) it was 210 or 214. Can not remember which. One thing I do know is that cholesterol can be lowered quickly on this detox.

Thanks for replying. The concern about cholesterol is not from dairy fat. It is from oxidized fat, which happens when dairy is powdered (it also happens in homogenization process). You can learn more about this by reading what Nina Plank has to say in _Real Food: What to Eat and Why_ or at her sitewww.ninaplanck.com, on the Cholesterol Myths page at http://www.ravnskov.nu/cholesterol.htm and at www.westonaprice.org. I am not a paid promoter, just a passionate health pursuer!

The right kind of saturated fat is fine. Extra virgin coconut oil is the right kind. It goes directly to energy and warmth, not to fat. Great in winter. If you tend to feel chilly, you'll notice the difference.

The label has zero comment about any of those. It's only warning says: Do not take if you have gallbladder problems or gallstones. If you are taking anti-coagulant or anti-platelet medications, or have a bleeding disorder, consult your healthcare provider before taking this product.

It does list cholesterol. Under "amount per serving" is shows 0g. Under "%DV" it shows 0%. Even though there not any in this product, it is nice they addressed the issue on the label.I love this stuff, I am 60 years old and my wife is 57. We went for plaque buildup test (its kind of like an MRI). Hers was 0% and mine was 3%, we have been using this product for a while and I believe it really helps .

Hello Emily's Mom,Beta-Sitosterol supposedlt counteracts some of the break down products of testosterone that are thought to cause (though not proven) balding and prostrate enlargement in old men. The softgels are large but easy to swallow, and according to the label contain 400 milligrams of the sought after Beta-Sistosterol in a mixture of Plant Sterol Esters. The total amount is 1000mg, which is one full gram per soft gel, (but only 400mg of that is Beta Sitosterol). I hope that answeres your question.Mudwog

I was taking gemfibrizol for my triglycerides but it really wasn't helping. I did feel tired and very forgetful. I started taking Choleslo five months ago and feel so much more alert. I have energy and feel like a fog has lifted. My cholesterol levels are lower and would be even lower if I took better control of the types of foods I am eating!!! I am very happy that I switched!

I'm sorry, but dietary cholesterol has virtually no affect on the bodies cholesterol levels, and modern science supports this. Like most (mis)information, this "dietary cholesterol bad" myth was probably instituted by a study sponsored by the cereal/grain companies or something back in the 70's or 80's. Just like the whole "fat is bad" fad that took off during the 80's when low/no-fat everything came out. What happened next? Add in the processed fructose (corn syrup). Why corn syrup? Because corn is/was subsidized the US Govt (our tax dollars) and they put a tariff on imported sugar cane, making corn syrup the de'facto sweetener in American processed food. And why did that "fat is bad" thing take off? Because companies used the absolute cheapest forms of fat (hydrogenated vegetable oils). And what's cheaper than hydrogenated fats and that can be flown into foods under the radar? Processed fructose.

Conflicting answers here about which is for righties and which for lefties. Maybe we should all go and try to find someone answering the question on YouTube. Or, someplace where the mfgr answers.

Red Yeast Rice is a natural occurring statin, not synthetic. As an experiment I took this along with Turmeric Curcumin to see why my cholesterol would do. In a three month period my cholesterol dropped Total cholesterol 10 points, 10 point drop in LDL,almost 20 points in non-LDL, 1 point in HDL ration and 1 point LDL/HDL ratio. My HDL went from 45 to 51 Hope that helps some.

Hi! I have read that too, but it hasn't affected me like that. But, I am on some other things that could counteract it. But I can tell you the positives for me. It has helped my cholestrol. My doctor advised along with Mega DHA by Jarrow. I take two each of these daily. Extra benefit: my nails are hard as bricks! Hope this helps!

Cho-lest-off is a wonderful product. I have used it since 2006. In 2006 I went on a statin (Lovastatin). After a few months I began having muscle pain and got off of it. With the Statin total cholesterol was 165 down from 220. I switched to Cholestoff and after two months I had my cholesterol measured again. The results were total cholesterol=165, LDL =76, just as good as the statin and no side effects. Hugh O.

Phytosterols (plant sterols and stanols) are a group of naturally occurring compounds found in plant cell membranes. Because they are structurally similar to the body's cholesterol, when consumed, they compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system. As a result, cholesterol absorption is blocked, and blood cholesterol levels are reduced. I take them because I have bad reactions to statin drugs.

LDL can be calculated by using Total Cholestrol, HDL and triglycerides. Subtract HDL and 20% of Trig from Total and that'll be LDL. In other words, LDL = Total Cholestrol - HDL - 0.2Triglycerides

Your body, especially your brain, needs cholesterol from healthy sources to function optimally. It is not the enemy as the government would have you believe. Your real enemy is carbs from unhealthy sources.

Soy lecithin improves brain function. I do not know for sure, however, this is an excellent product that works great!
