Foresterol\u2122 is a proprietary formula designed to help support healthy cholesterol levels. Its active ingredient, Reducol\u2122, is a
non-GMO (not genetically modified) mixture of phytosterols, which are naturally occurring compounds in plants that have
been found to inhibit the production and absorption of cholesterol.
Phytosterols
Phytosterols are considered the plant equivalent to animal cholesterol. Because they are similar in structure to cholesterol,
phytosterols compete with cholesterol absorption in the intestines, thereby inhibiting absorption of both dietary cholesterol and
cholesterol made by the liver. People consume phytosterols every day in their diets as all plants contain them, but not in amounts
sufficient to affect cholesterol levels.
Therefore, in addition to prescription drugs and dietary changes, supplementing with phytosterols may also be very effective. In
fact, The National Cholesterol Education Program (established by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) recommends plant
sterols as part of their Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes diet for patients with high cholesterol.
Facts about Cholesterol
Our bodies actually need cholesterol, as it helps to make cell membranes, hormones, and vitamin D, and is important for brain
function. What we do not need is an excessive build-up of cholesterol in the wrong places, such as in our arteries, because this may
lead to heart disease.
When your doctor tests your cholesterol, there are three main readings to look at:
\u2022 Total cholesterol \u2013 a measure of LDLs, HDLs, and other lipid components
\u2022 LDLs \u2013 transport cholesterol into tissues, where an overabundance can build up in your arteries to form plaque (atherosclerosis),
which is undesirable
\u2022 HDLs \u2013 remove excess cholesterol from arterial plaque, which may help prevent heart disease
Total\/HDL ratio: the proportion of total cholesterol levels over HDL levels. Aim for your ratio to be below 5, with optimal
levels around 3.5.
