Organika's Cholesterol tablets are specifically formulated with four potent ingredients to help lower blood total LDL cholesterol. Plant Sterols decrease blood cholesterol by blocking the absportion of dietary cholesterol in the intestines. Oat is a soluble fiber containing beta-glucans, which are known to help reduce LDL cholesterol. Green tea helps raise HDL "Good" cholesterol, restoring the balance between the two. Red Yeast Rice stops the enzymatic action which helps make cholesterol. A high cholesterol level is both hereditary, as well as a symptom of a high saturated fat diet and a sedentary lifestyle.
