Q&A: Vital4Cholest™
Q: What are plant phytosterols?
A: Phytosterols or plant sterols are natural components of plant membranes
found in many fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables. They are chemically similar
to cholesterol.
Q: How can plant sterols help reduce cholesterol?
A: The main mechanism by which phytosterols reduce blood cholesterol is to
inhibit cholesterol absorption in the small intestine.
Q: I exercise, eat right and still have high cholesterol. What else
can I do?
A: Elevated cholesterol may be due to genetics. Cholesterol comes from the
foods you eat but, is also produced by the liver and other cells in the body.
Numerous studies indicate that increasing consumption of plant sterols can
be beneficial to heart health.*1 However, many people find it difficult to
consume enough plant sterol rich foods to create a beneficial effect. Therefore,
adding a concentrated heart healthy supplement like Vital4Cholest™
to your diet and exercise plan may help you achieve the desired results.
Q: What is Sytrinol®?
A: Sytrinol® is a natural compound derived from oranges, tangerines and
palm fruit extracts. It is a powerful antioxidant that works through several
different mechanisms to create a synergistic effect for promoting heart health.*
Q: I'm taking a statin drug to lower my cholesterol. Can I take your
product instead and stop my medication?
A: No. You should never stop your medication without discussing it with your
physician first. VitalRemedyMD believes that your physician should be integrally
involved in your dietary supplement program.
