CholesterolSupport

Are you looking for a Safe and Effective Solution to supporting and optimizing your body's cholesterol health?

CholesterolSupport is a formula close to our hearts. For many years, Bema's own doctors have personally used as well as dispensed a version of this natural botanical formula successfully for cholesterol concerns.

CholesterolSupport features a synergistic blend of 6 unique botanicals and herbs from around the world: LesstanoL® (Policosanol 60), Red Yeast Rice, Chinese Knotweed, Rhizoma Alismatis, Cassia Seed, and Hawthorn

CholesterolSupport adds to our long-tested formula one outstanding ingredient for controlling cholesterol: the clinically attested policosanol (http://www.policosanol.com/monograph.htm). We use the LesstanoL® brand policosanol (derived solely from pure sugarcane wax) - the best source we think.

Cholesterol is Important

Cholesterol is needed by the body to build and maintain cell membrane and regulate its fluidity, aid in bile creation and metabolism of fat soluble vitamins, plus perform other crucial functions. Without enough cholesterol we would die, for our tissues are constantly being repaired and replaced with new cells.

CholesterolSupport is formulated with the understanding that the body itself produces several thousand milligrams of cholesterol each day for essential functions, and excess cholesterol is meant to be naturally recycled.

Nature's way is often a better way, and the wholesome ingredients in CholesterolSupport offer the body just the right help - naturally - to reach a good cholesterol balance.

LesstanoL® (Policosanol 60)

LesstanoL® brand Policosanol qualifies as an Organic Food Ingredient under NOP 205.605. It has a minimum 90% Policosanol of which 55-70% is 1-octacosanol, plus other related higher aliphatic alcohols in specific ratios unique to sugarcane wax, including tetracosanol, hexacosanol and triacontanol.

Unlike those derived from rice bran wax, bees wax, wheat germ, and other plant and insect waxes, the LesstanoL® raw material is derived solely from pure sugarcane wax, a superior and preferred source of Policosanol.

Full quality independent assays are done on every batch of LesstanoL® Policosanol raw material and, periodically, also full pesticide residue screening - measures which fulfill the Bema Quality Assurance requirements.

Red Yeast Rice

The documented use of Red Yeast Rice in Chinese herbology reaches as far back as the Tang Dynasty (800AD). Ingested, it was meant to energize the body, aid in digestion, and remove "blood blockages." Because it contains a naturally occurring statin, which has not indicated side effects, for many years now, red yeast rice has also been used to effectively control cholesterol.

Chinese Knotweed (Fo Ti)

Also called He Shou Wu after a Chinese man who reached the age of 132, Fo Ti tonifies the kidneys, balances a fragile yin, protects the skin from UVB damage, strengthens weak bones, and delays graying hair. Studies suggest also that Fo Ti may help in cholesterol support.

Rhizoma Alismatis

Traditionally used to cleanse and tonify the kidneys, rhizoma alismatis ( also known as alisma or ze xie) helps maintain proper water metabolism, which is a critical body function. More recently, some studies have suggested benefits of alisma on cholesterol control.

Cassia Seed

Besides its possible cholesterol support functions, cassia seed (jue ming zi) has been used to dispel liver-fire and improve vision; lower blood pressure; lower blood-fats and relax bowels for chronic constipation.

Hawthorn

Hawthorn provides many cardiac benefits (improved blood flow in coronary artery and in the extremities, etc.). It helps in conditions like angina, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and some arrhythmias. Some professionals think that chemicals in hawthorn may act directly on the heart muscle to increase the force of heartbeats and to relax the arteries around the heart. Indirectly, hawthorn may help widen blood vessels near the surface of the skin, thus stabilizing blood pressure. Evidence provided by clinical trails suggests that hawthorn extracts may benefit people with early-state congestive heart failure. Studies also indicate that hawthorn herb may help lower cholesterol levels by reducing the production of cholesterol and by augmenting the body's ability to break down cholesterol.
