All-natural supplement is approved alternative to prescription statin drugs for reducing "bad" cholesterol without the side effects.
(1888PressRelease) January 29, 2011 - New Orleans, LA - The American Heart Institute has endorsed Cholestaflor® all-natural cholestaflor-reducing supplement as a safe alternative to prescription statin drugs, which come with a long list of potentially serious side effects.
"We are thrilled to get this endorsement," said Gil Chambers, chief scientist at Flor Nutraceuticals. We put a lot of effort into coming up with a formula that is not only safe, but really can have a dramatic effect on a person's LDL cholesterol numbers."
Cholestaflor contains concentrated, standardized extracts of plant sterols and stannols and tea extract, both proven to substantially lower cholesterol levels in the blood when taken regularly. The six other ingredients are niacin, artichoke leaf extract, grapefruit pectin, psyllium, Omega-3 and curcumin -- also proven effective at reducing bad cholesterol.
It has long been recognized that many natural substances have a cholesterol-lowering effect. But the advent of prescription cholesterol reducers sent many sufferers of high cholesterol to their doctors for prescriptions. While statin drugs are undoubtedly effective, the list of side effects gets longer all the time, with new ones being publicized regularly.
"If you take the time to read the list of side effects, I'm not sure you wouldn't rather just have high cholesterol than take these things," said Chambers. "Fortunately, there is a natural alternative."
Flor Nutraceuticals backs its claim of a substantial reduction in blood cholesterol with an unconditional money-back guarantee. "We know it works," said Chambers. "We don't expect to be getting many returns."
Flor Nutraceuticals is also the company behind Herpaflor®, an all-natural treatment for herpes-related symptoms.
