LipinatTM - Trust the healing power of nature to help reduce total cholesterol levels.
Introducing Phyto Nova LipinatTM, a
combination of 2 proven ingredients, no-blush
Niacin and Beta-sitosterol, designed
to assist in the reduction of total
cholesterol levels whilst improving the
HDL good cholesterol’ profile.
Conditions
High Cholesterol
Key Ingredients
• Beta-sitosterol - helps to lower total cholesterol and "bad"
LDL cholesterol
• Niacin (Vitamin B3) - complementarily lowers total
cholesterol and triglyceride levels and raises "good" HDL
Optimum Cholesterol Management
Cholesterol levels are a key factor in determining heart health
and disease risk. High cholesterol levels can increase the risk of
developing high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, kidney
problems or impotence.
In most patients, while low total cholesterol levels are one
desirable outcome of a cholesterol management plan, the
optimum outcome is the achievement of an acceptably low "bad"
LDL cholesterol level in combination with an acceptably high
level of "good" HDL cholesterol.
Actions
Phyto Nova Lipinat's combination of two well documented and
proven ingredients increases the "good" HDL cholesterol and
concurrently lowers the "bad" LDL cholesterol.
The combination of ingredients at the dose recommended in
Phyto Nova LipinatTM can help to reduce patients' total cholesterol
levels by up to 20%, and increase "good" HDL cholesterol by up
to 35%.
Beta-sitosterol
Beta-sitosterol is a plant sterol that blocks the absorption of
cholesterol in the gut. The cholesterol that is not absorbed is
removed from the body, resulting in a lowering of total and
"bad" LDL cholesterol levels.
To get an effective amount of plant sterols from the diet, you
would need to eat 150 apples, 210 carrots or 425 tomatoes.
No-blush Niacin
No-blush Niacin works in the liver to not only help reduce total
cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but also helps raise HDL levels,
an important indicator for a healthy heart.
