Cholesterol Essentials

The Four-in-One Secret to Lower Cholesterol… It’s a medical fact—keeping your cholesterol at normal levels is critical for a healthy heart and your overall cardiovascular health. But even more important is maintaining the proper ratio of “good” HDL cholesterol to “bad” LDL cholesterol. Dr. Whitaker’s Cholesterol Essentials formula gives you phytosterols (plant-based sterols) in the research dosage to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in your small intestines. These phytosterols from natural, potent phytosterol esters help eliminate unwanted LDL cholesterol and improve your cholesterol ratio. Plus, the combination of antioxidants in Cholesterol Essentials reduces cholesterol oxidation, which causes cholesterol to become “sticky” and form in the walls of your arteries. Antioxidants neutralize this process, so Cholesterol Essentialsincludes Dr. Whitaker's recommended dosages of:

Grape Seed Extract, an unusually strong antioxidant that neutralizes both water and fat-soluble free radicals, fortifies blood vessels, and supports you entire cardiovascular system.










Tocotrienols, a member of the powerful vitamin E family that supports normal cholesterol levels by targeting and reducing LDL-cholesterol oxidation.










Lutein, from marigold flowers, which is a potent carotenoid that works to reduce unwanted cholesterol oxidation and promote healthy arteries.
