Cholester - Reg II
How it Works
Cholester-Reg II is a formula of natural ingredients that offers herbal and nutritional support to help maintain cholesterol levels within the normal range. Human studies show that policosanol, a mixture of fatty acids, made from waxes of sugar cane, help maintaining cholesterol levels within normal range and improve HDL and LDL ratios. Plant sterols are substances found in various plant-based food that have been in the human diet for thousands of years. Science has been studying the cholesterol-lower effects of plant sterols since the 1950s, and has determined that sterols lower cholesterol by partially blocking its absorption in the bloodstream.

The story behind Cholester - Reg II
Cholester-Reg II was launched in 2001 as a natural formula to support normal-range cholesterol levels in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. This blend utilizes plant sterols to compete with the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Interestingly, excess plant sterols are not absorbed but eliminated.
Anciently, the Greeks and Romans ate artichokes (or their cousins, cardoons) for targeted joint support.
Resveratrol was first discovered and isolated from a flowering plant in 1939. This was after researchers noticed that animals and insects eating certain plants lived longer. It took nearly 60 years for resveratrol’s powerful health benefits to become known to the world.
Policosanol came to light decades ago when researchers in Cuba began experimenting with its effects on the circulatory system. Since then, this sugar cane isolate has been studied and found to support the healthy management of lipids in mature adults.
