Herbal Extracts Plus has designed a botanical formula that provides a high concentration of herbs with known cholesterol-lowering properties in combination with other herbs which, in homeopathic doses, help to nourish and tone the entire circulatory system. Cholesterol is a waxy, white substance that is classified as a fat and is essential to life. However, it may accumulate on the arterial walls, dangerously constricting the flow of blood. There are two different types of cholesterol: One is good (HDL), and one is bad (LDL), and it is important to understand the differences and strive to maintain a high level of HDL and a low level of LDL cholesterol levels. This knowledge will help you take better care of your heart and live a healthier life, reducing your risk for heart attack and stroke. The herbs in this blend can help reduce cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Herbal Ingredient Information: The following information is a brief overview describing each of the above herbal ingredients and what properties each contributes to make up this proprietary blend.
- Apple Pectin: It has been claimed that the water-soluble dietary fiber, Pectin, significantly decreases the concentration of serum cholesterol levels. Apple Pectin appears to prevent absorption of cholesterol by binding with and removing fats before they are absorbed in the body, and by helping to reduce blood cholesterol levels, platelet aggregation (blood clotting) is dimished and blood circulation is regulated, which may be helpful in reducing the risk of arteriosclerosis, heart ailments and stroke. It is also said to act as an antioxidant against the damaging portion of cholesterol in the bloodstream.
- Milk Thistle regulates the digestion of fats by increasing the bile production and stimulating protein synthesis in the liver. It is beneficial in preventing arteriosclerosis and strokes, in addition to reducing the chances of gallstone formation by lowering total cholesterol and helping the liver convert low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad cholesterol") into high-density lipoprotein (HDL or "good cholesterol"). Milk Thistle also prevents cholesterol that has been excreted into the bile from being reabsorbed into the body. Another compound in it stops the oxidation of LDL cholesterol into a form that creates plaques in the linings of artery walls.
- Hawthorne Leaf reduces cholesterol and regulates blood pressure (both high and low), but when taken for at least eight weeks, is thought to be effective in lowering pressure, since its action develops slowly. It also appears to increase the liver's conversion of LDLs (bad cholesterol) into HDLs (good cholesterol) that do not clog arteries, which helps to stop plaque formation. This is also beneficial in the treatment of arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, heart attack and strokes.
- Psyllium helps to reduce the risk of heart disease. Recent studies have shown that Psyllium lowered both cholesterol and triglycerides. Soluble fibers prevent cholesterol absorption, and insoluble fibers have a scrubbing action as they pass through the intestines, ridding it of excess cholesterol and old, excess intestinal debris. It could also lower cholesterol by increasing bile-acid excretion. Bile acids are digestive substances that are made from cholesterol and are normally reabsorbed from the intestine after they do their job, but when Psyllium absorbs bile and moves it through the intestines, the body has to take cholesterol out of the blood to make more. Psyllium also helps slow cholesterol production by the liver, helping cells eliminate bad cholesterol, the kind believed to be responsible for closing arteries.
- Fenugreek Seed has been said to lower cholesterol. In many studies, the herb decreased the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or bad cholesterol) in the blood without affecting the good cholesterol. The seeds contain natural saponins (or "soaps") that cleanse the bulkier forms of cholesterol from the bile, and the high fiber content in the seeds may be another reason for its cholesterol lowering qualities, because fiber frequently inhibits the absorption of cholesterol and facilitates its movement through the system.
- Garlic is said to prevent heart disease by reducing blood pressure and blood lipids. Scientific studies support the use of Garlic in lowering serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It is said to lower low-density lipoproteins (LDLs or bad cholesterol), while raising high-density lipoproteins (HDLs or good cholesterol). This activity reduces the tendency of the blood to clot, thereby increasing circulation and reducing blood pressure and the risk of arteriosclerosis, stroke and heart attacks. Other studies have shown that people who suffered heart attacks, and then were given Garlic, had a lower incidence of a second attack.
- Cayenne helps to regulate the heart and blood pressure. It improves blood circulation and is thought to normalize both high and low blood pressure. It apparently increases heart action without increasing blood pressure, and Capsicum reportedly significantly lowers serum cholesterol and triglycerides. Capsicum is considered to be a catalyst herb that increases the efficacy of almost every other herb or herbal combination.
- Turmeric Root contains curcumin and other essential oils (turmerone, zingiberins ). In conjunction with the adrenal glands, it inhibits both platelet aggregation and the enzymes that induce inflammatory prostaglandins. Curcumin also helps break down fats and reduce cholesterol. Turmeric has been used effectively to protect the liver and for the treatment of arthritis, high cholesterol, digestive problems and obesity.
- Peppermint Leaf promotes good digestion and improves the appetite. Its foremost use as a medicine (in both home remedies and pharmaceutical preparations) is applied to relieve indigestion and the intestinal gas caused by certain foods; hence, its use in after-dinner mints and liqueurs. It relaxes the stomach muscles and promotes burping. Some studies have shown that Peppermint lessens the amount of time food spends in the stomach by stimulating the gastric lining, and because Peppermint increases stomach acidity and stimulates the flow of bile, it helps to digest food before passing into the intestines and colon. Peppermint's antibacterial properties can kill the micro-organisms that may cause food poisoning.
