Cholester-Reg II was launched in 2001 as a natural formula to
support normal-range cholesterol levels in combination with a healthy diet and
exercise. This blend utilizes plant sterols to compete with the absorption of
cholesterol in the body. Interestingly, excess plant sterols are not absorbed
but eliminated.
Anciently, the Greeks and Romans ate artichokes (or their
cousins, cardoons) for targeted joint support.
Resveratrol was first discovered and isolated from a
flowering plant in 1939. This was after researchers noticed that animals and
insects eating certain plants lived longer. It took nearly 60 years for
resveratrol’s powerful health benefits to become known to the world.
Policosanol came to light decades ago when researchers in
Cuba began experimenting with its effects on the circulatory system. Since
then, this sugar cane isolate has been studied and found to support the healthy
management of lipids in mature adults.
Each capsule contains Cynara scolymus (artichoke) leaf
150 mg, inositol niacinate 150 mg, free plant sterols [Glycine max (seed), Zea
mays (whole), Brassica napus (whole), Gossypium herbaceum (seed)] 150 mg
standardized to contain 80% total sterols, policosanol (from Saccharum
officinarum wax) 1.75 mg and resveratrol (from Polygonum cuspidatum root) 1.6
mg.
Polygonum cuspidatum root (Hu Zhang) is a potent Traditional Chinese Medicine herb and a premier natural source
of trans-resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant. It is widely used for its
anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-aging properties, commonly appearing
in skincare for promoting collagen and reducing skin damage.
Saccharum officinarum (sugarcane) wax is a
natural, sustainable, and vegan plant-based wax extracted from the surface of
sugarcane stalks,
