Cholesterol Control helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels (total, LDL and HDL), which is important for cardiovascular health.
There are many lifestyle factors that can contribute to cardiovascular health, particularly diet. Consumption of highly processed, high fat, low fiber, sugary foods have been linked to increased total cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels and blood sugar. These three levels have been directly linked as risk factors for the development of diseases.
As such these are often the targets for treatment as well as prophylaxis. Individuals with high cholesterol can reduce overall cholesterol by diet and lifestyle changes as well as drugs or supplements that reduce the production or increase the excretion of cholesterol. Further the ratio of HDL:LDL is important when discussing cholesterol related risk.
Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) found in Cholesterol Control is a citrus fruit found in the coastal Calabrian region of Italy. Bergamot contains a diverse and highly concentrated flavonoid profile, making it very beneficial for a number of cardiovascular processes. The polyphenols in bergamot contain properties common to other citrus flavonoids, ie. antioxidant properties.
