Description
Sanderson Cholesterol FX is an effective support for healthy cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is a compound that is an integral structural component of cell membranes and a precursor in the synthesis of steroid hormones. Dietary cholesterol is obtained from animal sources, but cholesterol is also synthesized by the liver. Cholesterol is carried in the blood by lipoproteins. There are two types of cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL). LDL is what is referred to as “bad cholesterol”.
Phytosterols (plant sterols and stanols) are the plant equivalent to animal cholesterol. In both animals and plants, sterols and stanols are essential components of the cell membrane. Phytosterols are present in all foods of plant origin. The average human diet includes about 167-437 mg of phytosterols per day (Ostlund 2002). Phytosterols, because of their similar structure to cholesterol, compete with cholesterol absorption mechanisms in the intestine. The amounts of phytosterols present in the diet, however, are not usually sufficient to affect blood levels of cholesterol. Dietary intakes of phytosterols need to be higher to support healthy cholesterol levels. The proprietary ingredient in Cholesterol FX is Reducol®, a unique non-GMO complex of phytosterols derived from conifer trees.
The active ingredient in Sanderson Cholesterol FX is a unique patented product that has been the subject of extensive scientific trials showing it to be an effective support in the active management of healthy cholesterol. It is a natural product sourced from pine trees, that is non-GMO and a low allergy formulation. Cholesterol FX is vegetarian friendly and comes in an easy to swallow capsule.
Directions: Initial Dose (first 30 days): Take 2 capsules prior to breakfast, 1 capsule prior to lunch, and 2 capsules prior to evening meal. Maintenance Dose: Take 1 capsule before breakfast, lunch and evening meal or as directed by your healthcare professional. Dietary intakes of phytosterols of at least 800 mg per day or higher are needed to support healthy cholesterol levels (Hendriks et al 1999). Trials have established that the optimal dose for the Reducol® in Cholesterol FX is up to 1800mg per day.
