Cholesterol comes from two sources: it is present in the food we eat and we produce it by synthesis from fatty derivatives. It is used by the body to produce substances that are vital for normal functioning. Since it is not water-soluble, it is conveyed by lipoproteins, which are classified as a function of their density. LDL lipoproteins carry cholesterol to peripheral tissues, whereas HDL lipoproteins take it up in order to carry it to its elimination point (bile). CHOLEOL MOINS is a herbal formula that has everything needed to act by limiting the absorption of food cholesterol, as well as its endogenous synthesis. This action is further enhanced by a well-balanced diet. The ingredients of CHOLEOL MOINS also allow increased HDL cholesterol (so-called « good » cholesterol) and its excretion following conversion into bile salts. Unwanted side-effects: some sensitive people may experience digestive problems. A mild laxative effect is possible: it is advisable to start on a lower dose for a few days.
