| How it Works: |
|
Cholesterol is a waxy,
soft, fat-like substance that is vital
to fat digestion, cell structure, nerve
insulation and hormone production.8
Cholesterol comes from two sources:
dietary or “exogenous” cholesterol
absorbed in the intestines, and
“endogenous” cholesterol formed mostly
by the liver and stored in the
gallbladder.8-10
Cholesterol occurs in
two forms known as lipoproteins.
Lipoproteins act as transports that
carry fats to and from the cells.8-10
High-density
lipoprotein (HDL) is the “good” variety
of cholesterol that also carries the
“bad” cholesterol (LDL, low-density
lipoprotein) away from arterial walls
and returns it to the bloodstream. LDL
then travels back to the liver, which
processes and eliminates it.8-10
While high levels of HDL cholesterol is
desirable, high amounts of LDL
cholesterol is not supportive of optimal
health.
As previously
mentioned, LDL-cholesterol is both
synthesized in the body, or absorbed
into the bloodstream through receptor
sites in the intestines.8,9
Think of these receptors as “parking
spaces” for cholesterol. As it happens,
the liver can receive up to 500 mg per
day of cholesterol from intestinal
absorption. (It can also produce as much
as 1000 mg per day.)10
One way to help reduce
the absorption of LDL cholesterol
molecules is to occupy their “parking
places” in the intestines. Phytosterols
in Cholesterol Shield are essentially
the “fat” of plants. They're found in
nuts, corn and rice and are some of the
“good” fats associated with the benefits
of olive oil, flaxseed oil and other
healthy oils.
The structure of
phytosterols is so similar to
cholesterol that they fit perfectly in
the specially-shaped intestinal parking
spaces that LDL-cholesterol would
normally occupy.5
Taken with, or just
before meals, phytosterols block the
cholesterol receptor sites so that
cholesterol is excreted from the body
rather than absorbed.† Body Rewards™
Cholesterol Shield™†, as part of a low-carb
diet, can help minimize the absorption
of cholesterol from high-protein food
sources, and help retain healthy
cholesterol levels that are within
normal limits. |
