Cholesterol and Triglycerides

Suitable for controlling cholesterolTherapeutic Indications:Cholesterol is a type of natural fat, present in all cells of the human body and necessary for healthy living. However, it can become a cardiovascular risk factor when its levels in the blood are high. The cholesterol present in the human body comes from two sources. The first source is endogenous cholesterol, which is synthesized by the liver. A quantity of this cholesterol is expelled from the blood through VLDL (Very Low Density Lipoprotein) and the remaining quantity is converted into bile acids. The second source, exogenous cholesterol, comes from food, generally of animal origin and its derivatives. During the day, the cholesterol present in the intestine is composed of 2/3 endogenous origin and 1/3 exogenous origin.CONTROCOL helps control LDL-cholesterol levels.Controcol contains active ingredients with proven effectiveness.Birch helps maintain normal cholesterol levels in the blood.Milk Thistle contributes to liver protection.RED RICE:It is a traditional Chinese product resulting from the fermentation of a type of yeast on rice. This process produces compounds called monacolins, one of which is monacolin K. Monacolin K, also known as lovastatin, is prescribed to lower blood lipid levels.GAMMA-ORYZANOL:The mechanism of action is not yet known. However, studies show that taking gamma-oryzanol with a high-cholesterol diet increases bile flow and total bile acid production by 12% and 18% respectively. A significant increase in fecal excretion of cholesterol (28%) and bile acids (29%) and a decrease in cholesterol absorption (20%) were also observed.CHROMIUM:Research suggests that a diet poor in chromium increases the risk of developing arteriosclerosis. Chromium supplementation has been shown to be effective in lowering triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol circulating in the blood, and increasing HDL-cholesterol.Q10:The use of statins is often associated with a variety of symptoms related to myopathies. Statins inhibit the production of coenzyme Q10, an essential cofactor for mitochondrial energy production. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ-10) is a vitamin-like substance found throughout the body, but especially in the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas.MILK THISTLE:One of the effects associated with the use of statins is their liver toxicity. Statins produce an increase in transaminases, which usually occurs in the first 3 months of treatment. Based on available clinical evidence, it can be concluded that the use of silymarin (the main active ingredient of Milk Thistle) is effective against liver toxicity.Composition:Per 2 tablets:Gamma Oryzanol – 300mg;Dry extract of birch leaf – 150mgDry extract of Milk Thistle – 100mg;- Silymarin - 80mg;Red rice yeast (Monacolins – 2.9mg;) – 96.68mg;Dry extract of Olive tree – 50mg;- Hydroxytyrosol - 10mg;Coenzyme Q10 – 20mg;Policosanol – 16.6mg;Vitamin B1 – 1.1mg (100%*);Chromium – 40ug (100%*).*NRV: Nutrient Reference Value.Ingredients:Gamma oryzanol, dry extract of birch leaf (Betula pendula roth), stabilizer: microcrystalline cellulose, dry extract of milk thistle seeds (Silybum marianum L. gaertn) (silymarin), red rice yeast (monacolins), stabilizer: vinyl copolymer/polyvinylpyrrolidone, dry extract of olive leaf (Olea europaea L.)

For greater care of your heartTherapeutic Indications:The action of Omega 3 Fatty Acids enhanced with Natural Antioxidants.Resveratrol is a polyphenol that can be found mainly in the skin of black grape seeds and in red wine. It is an important antioxidant especially interesting in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, as several studies indicate that:By promoting an increase in plasma Adenosine levels, it becomes a protective factor against chronic ischemia;It inhibits the peroxidation of LDL, a determining risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases;It reduces platelet aggregation, promoting the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system.Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), ubidecarenone, is an isoprenoid compound that acts in the oxidation of nutrients to produce ATP (a form of energy through which the cell carries out its activities). Cells that require a greater energy supply have more mitochondria than others, such as heart, muscle, and liver cells.ATP production is a very important step in the performance of skeletal and cardiac muscle function. The decrease in CoQ10 results in a reduction in oxidative phosphorylation, necessary for the normal process of cellular respiration.Studies indicate that CoQ10 is useful in:Antioxidant for cell membranes and LDL (whose peroxidation is a determining risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases).In situations of energy deficiency.Protector of cardiac tissue, favoring circulation and immunity.Composition:Concentrated Fish Oil Extract Omega 3 - 1000mg (containing 120 mg of DHA and 180 mg of EPA)Coenzyme Q10 - 30mgResveratrol - 1.5mgExcipient q.s. 1 capsule.Dosage and Administration:Take 1 capsule after dinner.Do not exceed the recommended dosage.Presentation:Pack of 60 capsulesWarnings:Do not take in case of allergies to fish, fish oils or hypersensitivity to any of its components.In case of a skin reaction, you should immediately stop administering this supplement.Should not be used in case of biliary obstruction or hepatic insufficiency.Do not use concomitantly with oral anticoagulants or cyclosporine (immunosuppressant).

Cholesterol can become a very important coronary risk factor, causing arteries to become blocked in the long term and leading to diseases such as atherosclerosis or heart attack, hence the importance of controlling its levels. Colestabil LRA Advanced Formula is a food supplement that helps reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It is a formula that only requires one dose per day and is made with Berberine, RRM (patented and standardized fermented red rice in total monacolins), Artichoke, Black Garlic, Policosanol, Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin B1. Berberine helps maintain normal body function by having a hypolipidemic effect that helps control cholesterol and triglycerides. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) contributes to the normal functioning of the heart. Berberine (Berberis aristata): active ingredient of the Berberis aristata plant. Berberine has been shown to reduce total cholesterol levels, acting on bad cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It plays a role in lipid metabolism, suppressing adipogenesis. In addition, it inhibits the PCSK9 enzyme, responsible for accumulating LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) deposits in the blood. RRM™ Fermented Red Rice (Monascus purpureus) standardized to 3% total monacolins: is a patented ingredient that meets the standard for total monacolins obtained from fermented red rice. It is used to maintain adequate cholesterol levels in the blood. Fermented red rice provides monacolin K which inhibits the action of the enzyme responsible for cholesterol production. This reduces the production of total cholesterol, bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides. It is free of citrinin, a liver toxin that is obtained by incorrect fermentation of rice. Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) standardized to 2.5% chlorogenic acid:contains phenolic acids (such as chlorogenic acid), active ingredients that have shown activity at the hepatic level, reducing the formation of cholesterol and triglycerides, as it helps the liver to metabolize it. Its antioxidant activity helps to care for and protect the liver. Antioxidants neutralize inflammatory mechanisms, which are highly relevant in the development of atherosclerosis, for example. Black garlic (Allium sativum) standardized to 0.1% S-allyl-cysteine: extract made with premium garlic that undergoes a long fermentation process lasting approximately 3 months. After fermentation, the garlic contains the active ingredient S-allyl-cysteine (SAC) which helps improve normal blood cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the possibility of cardiovascular problems. Policosanol (Saccharum officinarum) standardized to 60% octacosanol: is a sugar cane product. This active ingredient is able to lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol. It also prevents the formation of atheromas, reducing cholesterol deposits in the arteries. Effective doses range from 5 to 20 mg per day. Due to the synergy between its components in the formula, doses of 10 mg per day are considered adequate. Coenzyme Q10: is a vitamin-like substance with antioxidant capacity that is present throughout the body, but mainly in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas. It is necessary in many organic reactions and provides energy to cells. There is evidence that red rice yeast reduces the amount of coenzyme Q10 in the body, as it inhibits its production, which is why it is included in the formulation of this preparation. Vitamin B1: essential vitamin found in the liver, heart, etc. Necessary for normal cardiovascular function, as it intervenes in different functions related to circulation and blood processes. Ingredients Other ingredients: anti-caking agents (microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, micronized talc and colloidal silicon). Composition Per 1 capsule: Berberis aristata - 511 mg (98% berberine - 500 mg) RRM™ (Fermented red rice - 95 mg (standardized to 3% total monacolins - 2.85mg ) Artichoke extract standardized to 2.5% chlorogenic acid - 60 mg Black garlic ABG10+ standardized to 0.1% S-allyl-cysteine - 25 mg Policosanol from sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) standardized to 60% octacosanol - 5 mg Coenzyme Q10 - 5 mg Vitamin B1 - 1.1 mg (100% NRV) Instructions for use It is recommended to take 1 capsule per day, preferably before bedtime.

O Colesterol é um componente essencial das membranas celulares, das células cerebrais e nervosas e da bílis, que ajuda o organismo a absorver gorduras e vitaminas lipossolúveis. O corpo utiliza o colesterol para sintetizar a vitamina D e diversas hormonas como o estrogénio, a testosterona e o cortisol. Quando o colesterol se encontra em valores demasiado elevados estamos perante uma situação de Hipercolesterolemia que se enquadra nas dislipidémias. As dislipidémias assumem, cada vez mais, um papel relevante na nossa sociedade, porque o sedentarismo e a alimentação rica em gorduras saturadas são práticas comuns no nosso dia-a-dia. No entanto a alteração de alguns hábitos de vida como a alimentação saudável e a prática de exercício físico, não é suficiente para reduzir elevados níveis de colesterol, tendo que se recorrer a tratamentos farmacológicos, com a introdução de estatinas. A presença de dislipidemias como a Hipercolesterolemia, contribui para o espessamento e rigidez das artérias. Como diagnosticar? Através de uma avaliação do Colesterol Total, do valor de LDL (lipoproteínas de baixa densidade) e HDL (lipoproteínas de alta densidade) no sangue. Porque é difícil perceber se tem Hipercolesterolemia, se não fizer análises ao sangue? Porque a Hipercolesterolemia é uma condição onde não há manifestação de sintomas, podendo a doença evoluir para um enfarte do miocárdio ou para um acidente vascular cerebral. A prevenção é, assim, a maior defesa. De acordo com a evidência, um estudo realizado em Portugal indicava uma incidência de hipercolesterolemia de 559 novos casos de dislipidemias por 100 mil habitantes. Essa incidência aumentava com a idade até aos 54 anos para o género masculino e até aos 64 anos para o género feminino. Verificou-se uma maior ocorrência nos homens até aos 54 anos invertendo-se depois para uma tendência acrescida nas mulheres. Num outro estudo, detetou-se hipercolesterolemia em 47% da população e níveis aumentados de LDL em 38,4%. Os valores de HDL diminuído foram menos prevalentes, afetando 13% da população. O LIPID COMPLEX SOVEX® consiste numa fórmula direcionada para a prevenção das dislipidemias com hipercolesterolemia e hipertrigliceridemia pela sinergia entre Levedura de Arroz Vermelho Fermentado, a Alcachofra, as vitaminas B6, B12 e Folato, a colina e o coenzima Q10. Tem como ingrediente principal a Levedura de Arroz Vermelho Fermentado, que contribui para a manutenção de níveis normais de colesterol no sangue.    Ingredientes   Bitartarato de colina, alcachofra / folha, extrato seco (10: 1) (com 5% de cinarina) (Cynara scolymus), agente de revestimento (hidroxipropilmetilcelulose), agentes de volume (fosfato dicálcico, carbonato de magnésio), arroz vermelho fermentado (com 4% de monacolinas) (Monascus purpureus), FOS (frutooligossacáridos), levedura de cerveja, agente de volume (farinha de arroz), inositol, antiaglomerante (sais de magnésio de ácidos gordos), vitamina B6 (cloridrato de piridoxina), coenzima Q10 (ubiquinona), antiaglomerante (dióxido de silício), vitamina B12 (cianocobalamina), vitamina B9 (ácido pteroilmonoglutâmico).  Contém teor muito baixo de glúten.  Pode conter vestígios de leite, ovo, soja, aipo, dióxido de enxofre e sulfitos, peixe, moluscos e crustáceos por ser fabricado em local que utiliza ingredientes com estes alergénios, mas minimiza os riscos de contaminação cruzada.    Composição   Por 1 cápsula: Alcachofra / folha, extrato seco (15: 1) - equivalente a 1875 mg de folha com 5% de cinaria 6,25 mg Colina 90 mg Arroz vermelho fermentado - 72,5 mg - correspondência em monacolina K 2,90 mg FOS (Frutooligossacáridos) - 50 mg Levedura de cerveja - 50 mg Coenzima Q10 - 10 mg Inositol - 15 mg Vitamina B6 - 5,7 mg (407% VRN) Vitamina B9 - 400 mcg (200%) Vitamina B12 - 5 mcg (200%) Modo De Utilização Tomar 1 cápsula diária 30 minutos antes do pequeno-almoço, ingerida com água ou sumo natural.    Avisos Não exceder a quantidade diária inferior a 3 mg. Não deve ser consumido por mulheres grávidas ou em periodo de amamentação, crianças com menos de 18 anos e adultos com mais de 70 anos de idade. Consulte um médico sobre o consumo deste produto se tiver algum problema de saúde. Não deve ser consumido se estiver a tomar medicamentos para baixar o colesterol. Não deve ser consumido em simultâneo com outros produtos que contenham arroz vermelho fermentado.
