The Cholestil formula, as it name implies, is used primarily for the treatment of high level of cholesterol and triglyceride counts. It may also be used to decrease cholesterol buildup in the gallbladder and aid in the prevention and dissolution of gallstones. It is excellent for detoxifying and strengthening liver function.
Guggul ( a resin obtained from the Commiphora mukul shrub ) is a natural health product used primarily to reduce elevated blood cholesterol levels. It has been used for many years as a hypocholesterolemic agent in India, where it is has received prescription drug status, due to its high level of efficacy as determined by clinical trials. Remarkably, it is an extremely safe product relative to most cholesterol-lowering drugs used in modern medicine (especially when compared to the commonly used statin drugs, which inhibit the HMG-CoA reduced enzyme and can lead to liver damage). At the same time, gugulipid shows a similar therapeutic effect to many cholesterol-lowering drugs, without any apparent risk of liver damage.
Numerous studies reveal that Guggul is a valuable aid in helping to support healthy cholesterol levels. the most scientifically proven application for the use of it pertains to its ability to lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides, and to improve the LDL-to-HDL cholesterol ratio in patients with hypercholesterolemia and related lipid disorders.
Gugulipid was granted approval in India for marketing as a lipid-lowering drug in June 1986. Studies show that it lowers total cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol), while elevating HDL-cholesterol levels. It appears that guggulsterones increase the uptake of LDL-cholesterol from the blood by the liver. Studies in humans demonstrate that guggulsterone can produce a cholesterol reduction of 14 percent to 27 percent in 4-12 weeks, and a 22 percent to 30 percent drop in blood triglyceride levels, in patients with hypercholesterolemia and/or hypertriglyceridemia.
The Cholestil formula utilizes a guggul extract rich in guggulsterones, prepared in the traditional manner utilized in Ayurveda for centuries to capture guggul’s vast array of constituents.
Cynara scolymus (Artichoke ) help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels and low cholesterol and triglyceride counts. Artichoke extract stimulates bile production, promoting fat digestion and metabolism. By stimulating bile, it supports liver and gallbladder function and may help relieve occasional indigestion. Medical experts theorize that it may also inhibit activity of the cholesterol production enzyme HMG CoA Reductase to balance LDL cholesterol and trigylceride production in the liver .
