NATURAL SOLUTIONS
for Lipid Management

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with high cholesterol identified as a significant risk factor. Statistics reveal a concerning prevalence: nearly 94 million U.S. adults aged 20 or older have total cholesterol levels above 200 mg/dL—bordering or exceeding the limit of what is considered healthy. High cholesterol levels, particularly low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) or "bad" cholesterol, are linked with an increased risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes.^1,2 In response, statins have become a cornerstone in managing cholesterol levels, utilized by millions to lower the risk of heart-related events. However, despite their efficacy, some patients seek alternatives due to side effects or personal preferences towards natural therapies.

The quest for natural cholesterol management solutions has intensified as the public becomes increasingly aware of potential drawbacks of traditional treatments. While dietary and lifestyle changes remain the bedrock of natural cholesterol control, patients are showing a greater interest in learning how specific nutrients impact cardiovascular health.

Natural compounds, such as Red Yeast Rice Extract (RYR), is a fermentation product with clinical backing for its lipid-modulating properties. RYR contains monacolin K, akin to the active components in certain statins, demonstrating significant LDL-C reductions in clinical trials.³

Phytosterols mimic cholesterol's structure, naturally competing for absorption in the digestive system and effectively blocking dietary cholesterol from entering the bloodstream. Regular intake of phytosterols can lead to meaningful reductions in LDL-C and total cholesterol levels, contributing to a healthier lipid profile.⁴

Aged garlic extract (AGE) has been reputed for cardiovascular health benefits and is believed to impact cholesterol metabolism and absorption. AGE is thought to work through various mechanisms, including the modulation of cholesterol synthesis and absorption, providing a cardioprotective and anti-atherogenic effect.

Berberine, an alkaloid with a history in traditional medicine, is recognized for its positive influence on lipid and glucose metabolism, acting through mechanisms like enhancing the LDL receptor expression and stabilizing LDLR, thereby promoting LDL-C clearance.

Lastly, delta-tocotrienol, a form of vitamin E, contributes antioxidant properties and has been shown to suppress cholesterol synthesis, further supporting the formula's cholesterol-supporting potential.

These heart-healthy ingredients work synergistically to not only address lipid levels but also support the body's natural inflammatory response and promote stable arterial health. The compelling profile of Biotics Research’s Cardio-Lipid, rooted in clinical evidence, offers an option for patients seeking to manage their cardiovascular health with support from nature's pharmacy. Cardio-Lipid combines traditional wisdom with modern scientific rigor to expand the toolkit for patient-centric care in lipid management.
