Controlcol - 60 Tablets - Eladiet

Controls cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol is a type of natural fat, present in all cells of the human body and necessary for a healthy life. However, it can become a cardiovascular risk factor when its levels in the blood are high. The cholesterol present in the human body comes from two sources. The first source is endogenous cholesterol, which is synthesized by the liver. A quantity of this cholesterol is expelled into the blood through VLDL (Very Low Density Lipoprotein) and the remainder is converted into bile acids. The second source, exogenous cholesterol, comes from food, generally of animal origin and its derivatives. During the day, the cholesterol present in the intestine is composed of 2/3 of endogenous origin and 1/3 of exogenous origin.

CONTROCOL helps control LDL cholesterol levels.
Controcol contains active ingredients with proven efficacy.

RED RICE:
It is a traditional Chinese product of fermenting a type of yeast on rice. This process produces compounds called monacolins, one of which is monacolin K. Monacolin K, known as lovastatin, is prescribed to lower blood lipid levels.

GAMMA-ORYZANOL:
The mechanism of action is not yet known. However, studies have shown that taking gamma-oryzanol with a high cholesterol diet increases bile flow and total bile acid production by 12% and 18%, respectively. A significant increase in fecal cholesterol excretion (28%) and bile acid excretion (29%) and a decrease in cholesterol absorption (20%) were also observed in cholesterol.

PLANT PHYTOSTEROLS:
A substance present in vegetables such as legumes and nuts. Phytosterols, as they have a molecule similar to cholesterol, compete with it at the level of intestinal receptors, thus reducing the absorption of exogenous cholesterol.
Phytosterols are effective in improving the lipid profile of people with hypercholesterolemia at the minimum dose recommended by the FDA.

CHROMIUM:
Research suggests that a diet low in chromium increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis. Chromium supplementation has been shown to be effective in reducing triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol circulating in the blood, and increasing HDL cholesterol.

Q10:
Statin use is often associated with a variety of symptoms related to myopathy. Statins inhibit the production of coenzyme Q10, an essential cofactor for mitochondrial energy production. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ-10) is a vitamin-like substance found throughout the body, but especially in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas.

MILK THISTLE:
One of the effects associated with the use of statins is their liver toxicity. Statins produce an increase in transaminases, which generally occurs in the first 3 months of treatment. Based on the available clinical evidence, it can be concluded that the use of silymarin (the main active ingredient in Milk Thistle) is effective against liver toxicity.
