Although it is not the only major risk factor, studies have revealed time after time the irrefutable link between raised blood cholesterol and an increased risk of heart disease. It is widely accepted in the medical community that cholesterol levels should be 5.0mmol/l or under, and for those who have, or are at risk of coronary heart disease, the target should be no higher than 4.0mmol/l.

Medical laboratories now subdivide total cholesterol readings into several components, including LDL (bad) cholesterol, which is directly linked to heart disease, and HDL (good) cholesterol, which carries cholesterol from your bloodstream back to your liver, where it can be safely stored and eliminated by your body. Indeed, the ratio between HDL and LDL is currently considered more important than total cholesterol.

Now, the recent launch of a new supplement called LESTEROL -- which contains beta-sitosterol and allicin can help you achieve a healthy cholesterol reading. This combination helps block the absorption of dietary and biliary (produced in your body) cholesterol in your small intestine, and make it easier for it to be excreted from your body. In addition, allicin is a powerful antioxidant that is capable of preventing free radical damage and the oxidation of cholesterol, which causes it to become sticky and form plaque in artery walls.

These two active ingredients have additional health benefits helping to bolster immunity, and reduce inflammation and pain through their effects on controlling cytokine production (substances involved in the inflammatory process).

I hope to get off the drugs completely later this year

One person who has already benefited from LESTEROL is Mr James D from Southampton: I was put on a statin drug at a large dose to get my cholesterol down from 7.8 which is way too high. When I found out about Lesterol I thought it might help and that I could reduce the dose of the drugs.

After three months using two capsules a day my cholesterol is right down to 3.9 mmol/l but more importantly I have been able to reduce my drug dose down from 80 mg per day to only 10 mg per day. I hope to get off the drugs completely later this year with my doctors help. 

James decision to work with his doctor to try and reduce the dosage of the cholesterol-lowering statin drug he is on, and ultimately try and come off his medication altogether, is wise given that statins are linked to causing a wide range of harmful side effects including liver damage, sexual dysfunction and decreased insulin sensitivity to name just a few.

LESTEROL is based on a revolutionary new manufacturing process

Numerous studies have documented the beneficial actions of phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol, on lowering cholesterol and LDL (bad cholesterol) concentrations, in daily doses of 250mg to 600mg. LESTEROL contains 250mg of beta-sitosterol per capsule.

Beta-sitosterols close chemical resemblance to cholesterol enables it to block the absorption of cholesterol by competitive inhibition.

LESTEROLs second active ingredient the sulphur-containing compound allicin has a paradoxical story. It comes from garlic, yet although there are at least 33 sulphur compounds in fresh garlic, there is no allicin! If this sounds contradictory, thats because allicin is only created when garlic is cut or crushed.

Allicin is the most potent antibacterial and antifungal substance in garlic, but under normal circumstances it is extremely unstable. Only recently, decades after allicin was first identified in the laboratory, has it been possible to produce a stabilised form on a commercial scale.

Peter Josling, director of the Garlic Information Centre in East Sussex, together with a team of chemists and chemical process engineers have pioneered and patented the unique process of water-based extraction and freeze-drying that has made this possible.

This process is finally allowing researchers to explore allicins potential more fully, to confirm its spectrum of activity, not only in helping to maintain a healthy cholesterol level, but also against todays most pressing problems resistant bacteria, virus and fungal infections.

Researchers have revealed that allicin is able to lower high blood cholesterol, thin the blood and reduce high blood pressure.

 However, as stabilised allicin has only recently been made available, most studies have been based on the allicin-releasing potential contained in dried garlic powder (it contains the compounds alliin and allinase, which produce allicin when ingested) rather than allicin itself.

 
One study demonstrated that garlic powder supplements with allicin-releasing potential have value in mild to moderate cases of high cholesterol when combined with a low fat diet. In another study, treatment with standardised garlic powder in tablet form produced a significantly greater reduction in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol than placebo.

Trials with stabilised allicin in patients with high cholesterol levels are now underway, and HSI promises to keep you fully updated on the findings as soon as they become available.

Peter Josling in his book Allicin, The Heart of Garlic (HRC Publishing), says: Overall we can now state confidently that allicin is likely to reduce cholesterol by significant amounts in many people and will probably help to reduce the amount of saturated fat absorbed into our bodies. 

What to take for best results

For those with moderately raised cholesterol the recommended dosage for LESTEROL is one capsule a day, taken with meals. If your cholesterol level is above 6.5mmol/l, two or three capsules should be taken daily in divided doses. You should be aware that LESTEROL can take a little longer to work than conventional medication, so a minimal three-month course is recommended before its effectiveness is assessed.

LESTEROL is unlikely to interfere with pharmaceutical medications, although if you are on existing prescription drugs it is always a good idea to check with your GP before using it.
