Frequently asked questions
Q What are phytosterols?
A Phytosterols, also known as plant sterols, are cholesterol-like compounds that are found mostly in plants such as whole grains, fruits, legumes, vegetable oils, nuts and vegetables. Although more than 40 types of plant sterols have been discovered, the most abundant are beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol.
Q What effect do phytosterols have on cholesterol?
A Phytosterols work in a similar way to cholesterol in the body. In the human body, natural cholesterol is produced in the liver. Cholesterol is a necessary component of cell membranes, and is required to synthesise sex hormones and vitamins. However, over time, high levels of dietary cholesterol from animal products can increase blood cholesterol, which may then lead to fatty plaque build-up in the arteries and heart disease.
A diet rich in phytosterols is known to reduce blood cholesterol. This is because cholesterol – from both food and the liver – is normally absorbed through the small intestine, and then circulates into the bloodstream. Phytosterols, however, are less easy for the small intestine to absorb; so they are excreted out of the body instead of entering the bloodstream. As they do this, they appear to enhance cholesterol excretion, interfere with its production, and compete for cholesterol receptor sites in the intestinal walls. Indeed, studies have found that phytosterols can stop or slow absorption of both dietary cholesterol and cholesterol made by the liver.
Q How much phytosterols should the diet include, and from where?
A One study indicated that up to two grams of phytosterols per day can lower LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein, or “bad” cholesterol) by 10 percent, without affecting HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein, or “good” cholesterol) or triglycerides. Eating foods that are high in saturated fat, on the other hand, has been shown to increase LDL levels. Therefore if you wish to reduce your cholesterol levels, increasing the levels of phytosterol-rich foods (such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains) in your diet and reducing the amount of saturated fats you consume may help.
Q Why does this formula include Globe Artichoke and Garlic?
A Globe Artichoke has been traditionally used to support liver function in several ways. It can help to increase bile flow, protect the liver and improve digestion, and also acts as an antioxidant. Its active ingredient, Cynarin, has been shown to lower total blood cholesterol levels, and it may help to inhibit natural cholesterol production. Finally, Globe Artichoke may assist in lowering elevated blood triglyceride levels. Research has shown that Garlic has benefits that include maintaining healthy cholesterol, blood pressure and homocysteine levels; plus immune system and liver function support. Both these herbs have powerful antioxidant properties that support liver function, and through this, support the role that the liver plays in healthy cholesterol production.
Q Why are antioxidants important for heart health?
A Free radical damage to artery wall cells is one factor that can contribute to cholesterol plaque build-up within the arteries. Long-term accumulation of this build-up may lead to high blood pressure and increase the risk of blood clots, which may lead to eventual heart attacks or strokes. Globe Artichoke, Garlic and Vitamin E all act as powerful antioxidants that can help to prevent such damage from free radical molecules.
Q How long will it take most people to experience benefits from this product?
A Most people will need to take Nutra-Life Cholesterol Balance for several weeks to experience optimal benefits. Because everyone is different, however, some people may experience reduced cholesterol levels within 2 weeks.
