Proven natural ingredients to lower cholesterol and triglycerides.
Chole Forte contains two natural agents that are proven to lower
blood cholesterol and/or triglycerides in human clinical trials.
These natural agents include Gugulipid and Artichoke Leaf
Extract. Unlike conventional cholesterol-lowering drugs, these
natural agents are not associated with liver damage, muscle
pain, kidney damage or significant intestinal upset. Human
clinical trials demonstrate that Gugulipid and Artichoke Leaf
Extract can lower cholesterol up to 27% and triglycerides up to
30%. These are very significant reductions, which are comparable
to the benefits of many lipid-lowering drugs.
Gum Guggul or Gugulipid is derived from the mukul myrrh tree,
which contains guggulsterones - the active constituent that
accounts for its cholesterol and triglyceride-lowering effects.
Gugulipid was granted approval in India for marketing as a
cholesterol and triglyceride-lowering drug in June 1986, due to
its impressive efficacy and safety. Gugulipid has been shown to
help the body clear excess cholesterol and triglycerides from the
bloodstream.
Artichoke Leaf Extract contains active constituents that help
flush cholesterol from the body via the fecal route. It increases
the flow of cholesterol (and bile, which is a building block of
cholesterol) from the liver to the intestinal tract. Human studies
indicate that Artichoke Leaf Extract alone can reduce LDL
cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) by 23%.
High cholesterol and triglycerides are important risk factors for
heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular problems, which
are the leading cause of death in North America. Individuals
should strive to attain a fasting blood cholesterol level below 3.9
mmol/L (150 mg/d) and triglyceride level below 1.13 mmol/L
(100 mg/dL). Lifestyle strategies include eating less animal fat,
staying lean, exercising, and consuming foods high in cholesterollowering fiber (beans, peas, oats, many fruits and vegetables,
ground flaxseed, psyllium husk fiber and salba grain). If lifestyle
strategies alone do not return cholesterol and triglyceride levels
to the ideal range, then Chole Forte should be considered.
Chole Forte can even be used in conjunction with cholesterollowering or triglyceride-lowering drugs, if necessary.
