Choles-Response™
Support for Healthy Cholesterol Levels
Cholesterol Regulation
Certain ingredients regulate cholesterol levels in blood serum and in the liver. Vitamin U activates the enzyme cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, which helps break down cholesterol in the body. Curcumin (turmeric), in addition to significantly reducing serum lipid peroxides and raising HDL levels, helps maintain cholesterol levels within the normal range. Beta-sitosterol and green tea inhibit intestinal uptake of cholesterol and increase fecal bile secretion. Green tea also reduces fat and cholesterol storage in the liver.

Cholesterol Breakdown and Elimination
One important mechanism for cholesterol elimination is via bile production. Bile, made by the liver to aid with digestion, naturally contains cholesterol, some of which is removed through fecal excretion. Artichoke and dandelion, used since ancient times for healthy digestion, support bile production and elimination. Myrcetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid and close relative of quercetin, supports cholesterol uptake and removal from the bloodstream by white blood cells. Vitamin U has been shown in animal studies to support cholesterol breakdown.

HDL Regulation (High Density Lipoprotein)
HDL cholesterol is responsible for transporting cholesterol away from peripheral tissues and carrying it back to the liver, where it can be eliminated. Choles-Response contains botanicals and nutrients that support a healthy balance between different types of cholesterol by increasing HDL relative to LDL.

Heart and Circulation
Cardiovascular and circulatory health require smooth, unrestricted blood flow. Recent research has focused on the cardioprotective and tryglyceride lowering actions of garlic, as well as its effect on lipid levels. Ginkgo, used medicinally in China for thousands of years, supports microcirculation and blood flow, while vitamin C supports vessel elasticity. Green tea may help reduce fat storage in the heart. Hawthorn is the premier cardiac tonic of Western herbalism.

Antioxidant Defense
Our bodies need cholesterol for cell membrane integrity and stability, and to help produce hormones and bile salts. When oxidation changes cholesterol's structure, however, arterial walls are negatively affected. Choles-Response contains powerful antioxidants, which help prevent oxidation and maintain vascular health. These include myrcetin, turmeric, green tea and vitamin E.

Thyroid Gland
The thyroid regulates all aspects of metabolism, including heart rate, and is essential for healthy circulation and cholesterol levels. Gugulipid is a powerful health-promoting herb, used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, which supports the thyroid and aids natural fat-burning mechanisms. Iodine from kelp is essential for production of thyroid hormones.
