Cholesterol Support

From the Manufacturer:
There are many factors that play a role in heart health and maintaining a healthy cholesterol level. These include diet, exercise, body weight and age. Adjusting diet and exercise properly will provide your body with the important nutrients needed to promote heart health as well as contribute to a healthy body weight. However, these factors alone don’t always reduce high cholesterol levels. Other nutrients may be involved in lowering cholesterol. Plant sterols and stanols, the active ingredient in Cholest-Off, have been shown to reduce LDL (“bad”) and total cholesterol by blocking cholesterol absorption. Therefore, in addition to a healthy diet and exercise regimen, supplementing with Cholest-Off can help lower cholesterol levels and promote overall heart health. Cholest-Off is recommended to be part of a daily regimen for Heart Health.

Cholestoff
by Deralee Scanlon, RD


I am a registered dietitian who also happens to work for Pharmavite, the maker of Nature Made brand of dietary supplements. My reason for writing is to provide some clarification regarding phosphates, especially calcium phosphate. As many people know, calcium is an essential mineral that is found naturally in foods and is required for many bodily functions including bone and tooth formation and proper muscle contraction and relaxation. As a mineral, calcium is also able to bind with other minerals such as phosphate and can be used in this form to help ensure adequate calcium levels in the body. You might find it interesting to note that the teeth and skeletons of vertebrate animals (that includes humans) are composed of calcium phosphate, primarily as a chemical compound known as hydroxyapatite. The powdered hydroxyapatite that is available in the marketplace is frequently found in the form of "tricalcium phosphate," which is used in many dietary supplements. Here's another tip: it is best to take most calcium supplements with meals to aid in their absorption by the body.
One last thought: Anyone with parathyroid disease, kidney stones, taking antacids or other calcium supplements or prescription antibiotics should discuss the use of calcium phosphate with their doctor for proper dosage recommendations. Calcium phosphate is considered to be a relatively nontoxic mineral.
As a registered dietitian, I recommend Cholestoff to my family members and also happen to use it myself because I believe in its effectiveness. I prefer a more natural approach such as using plant stanols and sterols to help maintain healthy blood lipid (fat) levels in the body.



Disappointed
by LMur


I do not eat a high-cholesterol diet but my total cholesterol was 241. I used this product for 2 months straight hoping that my count will lower naturally and my cholesterol count went from 241 to 259. I cannot reccommend this product. I have switched to Omega 3, hopefully that will work. I am extremely dissapointed.



BIG LOSS
by Jeanne Berger


Hello,
My name is Jeanne and I wanted to share my success story with everyone. I had blood work done and my cholesterol was high (316) I was given medication which I refused to take because I don't want to get hooked on medication. I friend at my gym told me about this product so I decided I had nothing to loose except me high cholesterol. After 2 months of taking 3 times a day I had taken another blood work up. To all our surprise my cholesterol had dropped to (205). My doctor said what ever I was doing keep it up! Thank you very much for this product, I have been telling everyone!!!!



Good product
by Greg Henry


Great product. This product has helped me. It does not contain anything really interesting. In fact, I have been told that oatmeal will do the same thing but you would have to eat a lot every day. But, this is a good alternative.



Warning-PHOSPHATES
by John F.


So I get the Cholestoff in and guess what? The first added ingredient is a PHOSPHATE. I'm already being treated for osteoporosis, having to take a shot a day for the next two years. At age 52, and after years of phosphate ingestion, I by a "natural" product filled with poison.

Bad form, Nature Made.





Good
by JohnK


Good product and good results. By the way, I ordered from Vitabase, and I recommend them too. They actually made a mistake on the order and ended up giving it to me for free. Real customer service is refreshing these days.



Cholest-Off great
by Kyle


Cholest-Off is a wonderful product. I bought it 5 months ago, and I have already gone down almost 50 points. I would recommend this to everyone with high cholesterol because it works wonders. This product is awesome.



It works!!!
by Dustin


I have never had high cholesterol problems until my last trip to the doctor 4 months. He said that I needed to bring it down or I might have to get a prescription. I began taking Cholest-Off about a day after I left his office and just went back for a test last week and my cholesterol level dropped almost 10 points. I could not be happier.



trustworthy
by Arvinder


This is a trustworthy product. My mom tried it as she was tired of her prescription medicines. Later she found that her cholesterol levels have reduced in a very short time. As the name indicates it is a real choles-off product. This is a recommended product for everyone with high cholesterol levels.



Good Product
by Afrit


I suffer from high cholesterol and this product brought it down four points in one month! It has worked much better than other products I've tried. The only drawback is it is a bit expensive. One bottle lasts only about a month.
