Arkopharma BASIKOL Phytosterol Supplement. The natural way to combat high cholesterol.

 Today's Price: £15.99

Seven out of 10 people aged over 45 in the UK have raised cholesterol. It is estimated that one in five adults has a cholesterol level greater than 2.5g/L where normal cholesterol level should be below 2g/L. The good news is that studies show that just a 10% reduction in cholesterol levels could lower the risk of cardiovascular problems - notably that of coronaries, by up to 50%!

Supplementing our diet with phytosterols – natural compounds found in vegetables and vegetable oils can have significant and positive impact on reducing LDL cholesterol levels. Says Dr Mary McGowan Northeast Cholesterol Foundation – "Phytosterols are emerging as one of the best all natural ways to combat high cholesterol"?

Description:

Cholesterol – A risk factor for cardiovascular disease

Cholesterol is not soluble in the blood. In order to circulate, it needs to be transported by specific proteins, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol.

LDL transports the majority of the cholesterol known as bad cholesterol, which can cause the formation of atheroma plaques on the artery walls. Any reduction in excessive LDL cholesterol will result in a significant reduction in cardiovascular risk.

HDL's have a cholesterol-eliminating role and by transporting it from the blood to the liver are considered as good cholesterol as they protect the arteries from atherosclerosis.

How do phytosterols lower cholesterol levels in the blood?

Phytosterols or vegetable sterols are compounds naturally present in vegetable oils. The first phytosterol was discovered in wheat germ and was later discovered in other vegetables such as corn, olive, canola and soya beans.

Phytosterols are structurally similar to cholesterol and they compete with the cholesterol we ingest for absorption through the small intestine. Up to a point, the more phytosterols present in the intestine, the less cholesterol absorption will occur. So when you consume phytosterols you inhibit the intestinal absorption of cholesterol by the body, which leads to a decrease in flow of dietary cholesterol towards the liver and a consequent reduction in the endogenous secretion of LDL cholesterol by the liver. Meanwhile, the phytosterols themselves are naturally flushed through the system without being absorbed into the body as well.

BASIKOL An innovative product to combat excess cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia)

BASIKOL is a truly innovative product containing pure non esterified or free phytosterols – specifically sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol together with antioxidant Vitamin E in vegetarian capsule form.

Two capsules of BASIKOL taken twice a day during meals, in conjunction with a balanced diet can help to reduce high cholesterol, maintain a healthy balanced cholesterol level and used as a preventative for high cholesterol.
