More and more Americans are hearing from their doctors that
their cholesterol levels are too high and the doctor says, "I
recommend that you go on cholesterol medication ASAP". Later,
after being on the doctor's prescription, you find out there are
terrible side effects to the medication. If this sounds like
you, then Policosanol might be the solution for you - with zero
side effects. Policosanol is an all natural compound isolated
from plant waxes or bees wax, but for today's discussion we are
focusing only on plant based Policosanol.
Policosanol has had a consistent history of cholesterol reducing
properties in all research done with animal and in-vitro. When
administered 5 to 20mg/day, Policosanol has been shown to reduce
Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL)(Bad Cholesterol) by 10% - 31%
while increasing High-density Lipoprotein (HDL)(Good

news for your liver, Policosanol has shown

the liver's regeneration process and deserves more research in
this area.2
Besides the cholesterol lowering qualities of Policosanol, this compound can reduce platelet
aggregation in the blood which may help prevent lipid or
cholesterol build up in the cardiovascular system.
If your not convinced that Policosanol can lower cholesterol,
there are certainly other options for addressing heart health
and cholesterol levels, such as guggul, niacin, plant sterols,
and Sytrinol all exhibit cholesterol-lowering abilities to
varying extents. These are just a few suggestions to help you
choose the right Supplement in managing your cholesterol levels.

TODAY'S NEWS:
New federal guidelines say every child should be screened for high cholesterol once between the ages of 9 and 11 and again between 17 and 21. The testing aims to find kids with extremely high cholesterol caused by a genetic condition. But the testing will find others whose cholesterol may not need treatment.
One in 500 kids has an inherited disorder that causes high levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol that may require medication to control. However, since the problem doesn’t create observable symptoms, as many as half of these kids don’t know they have the condition.
