Form’Chol

"A natural product intended for the fight against excess lipid factors Additional information. Form'Chol combines hibiscus, artichoke, turmeric, coenzyme Q 10, aronia as well as vitamins B3, B5, D, E, Cholesterol is considered a risk factor when it exceeds laboratory limits including the LDL fraction. In reality, it is the oxidized LDL which presents a real danger insofar as it is he who is at the origin of the atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries. It is therefore important to reduce both LDL and especially oxidized LDL. This appears when oxidative stress is present and allows the oxidation of the LDL fraction but also the HDL cholesterol. Several products are likely to meet these specifications: drugs such as statins or fibrates but also food supplements containing more or less effective substances: Red yeast rice, rich in Monacoline K which is also a statin with the same side effects. It increases LDL cholesterol and reduces total cholesterol, but does not influence cardiovascular risk. Phytosterols reduce the intestinal absorption of cholesterol. They reduce total cholesterol and LDL but have no influence on HDL and triglycerides. Dietary fibers have an effect on cardiovascular risk but not really on cholesterol levels. Omega 3s also have a role in reducing cardiovascular risk, in particular by lowering triglycerides. Regular consumption of green tea reduces total cholesterol and LDL but has no action on HDL and triglycerides. Cochrane review concludes that artichoke leaf extract may lower cholesterol levels Vitamin B 3 Niacin contributes to normal energy metabolism. Vitamin B5 Pantothenic acid contributes to normal energy metabolism. Several clinical studies have shown that pantethine, which is a derivative of vitamin B5, could lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels at a dose of 600 to 900 mg per day. Vitamin D3 there is a direct link between vitamin D3 and cholesterol. This is because vitamin D2 is synthesized in the liver from cholesterol and then transferred to the kidney which turns it into vitamin D3. Cholesterol is also synthesized in the liver, which also eliminates it in the event of a surplus, in particular LDL. Thus in case of elevation of LDL, the synthesis of cholesterol is reduced and therefore vitamin D also. There is therefore a control by vitamin D of the LDL level. Hibiscus flower is very high in antioxidants and a substance that seems to help lower blood pressure. It would allow in the case of metabolic syndrome to reduce the level of sugar in the blood (or glycemia), as well as the level of triglycerides and total cholesterol According to several recent clinical studies. Its antioxidant effect could also contribute to the reduction of oxidized LDL. Curcumin, the active principle of turmeric, is involved in the formation of bile salts from cholesterol and contributes to the elimination of the latter. This antioxidant role clearly demonstrated by multiple studies also participates in the fight against oxidative stress which may be responsible for the appearance of oxidized LDL.
