Cholesterol* Complex - with 39.79% phytosterols - 180 capsules

Natural support for cholesterol balance

The Cholesterol* Complex from Unimedica has been developed for people who need to monitor their cholesterol levels. It contains traditionally proven substances and phytosterols to naturally regulate cholesterol levels – protected in vegan cellulose capsule shells.

With added phytosterols

The heart of this Cholesterol Complex is the phytosterols (39.79%). These are plant sterols and stanols which, at a daily intake of at least 0.8 g, contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.*

Phytosterols are fat‑like substances found in the cell membranes of plants. They contribute to membrane stability and regulate nutrient transport. In the gut, phytosterols compete with cholesterol and thereby reduce its absorption into the bloodstream.

A broad spectrum of high‑quality ingredients with one aim

Each capsule also contains beta‑glucan, black garlic extract, bergamot extract and artichoke leaf extract, as well as vitamins C, E, D and B vitamins. Iodine and coenzyme Q10 complete the comprehensive formula to support cholesterol balance. Every ingredient has been carefully chosen so that their specific properties and functions in the body work together like a well‑tuned orchestra to contribute to a balanced cholesterol profile.

How dietary fibre helps cholesterol balance

Beta‑glucans are indigestible dietary fibres. They bind bile acids in the gut. Because bile acids are needed for digestion, the liver is stimulated to produce more bile acids. To do this it uses cholesterol from the blood and thus lowers blood cholesterol levels.

Plant extracts with leverage

Garlic only becomes black through a special fermentation process. Garlic is rich in important nutrients. Its constituents develop their own unique strength and a special aroma through this “aging”.

The artichoke contains numerous valuable nutrients and dietary fibres. It is known for aiding the digestion of fatty foods. The properties of the artichoke are captured in concentrated form in the artichoke leaf extract.

Vitamins and iodine pave the way to a balanced cholesterol profile

B vitamins and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) boost energy metabolism and support the immune system, while vitamin E (tocopherol) helps protect the cells. Additional vitamin D (cholecalciferol) reduces the need for cholesterol in the body’s own production of this important vitamin. Iodine supports thyroid function and energy metabolism.

In this way, the various ingredients of the Cholesterol* Complex each contribute in their own special way to well‑being and a balanced blood lipid profile.

Cholesterol: the misunderstood ally in the body

Cholesterol has a bad reputation because too much of it can promote cardiovascular disease. But it is not fundamentally bad. On the contrary: we need it. Cholesterol is a fat‑like substance that performs a variety of tasks in the body. It is an important component of cell membranes and is required for the formation of vitamin D, bile acids and certain hormones.

Why a balanced cholesterol profile is important

What matters is a balanced ratio between LDL and HDL cholesterol. If there is more LDL cholesterol in the body than it needs, it can be deposited in the vessels and cause blockages. The resulting narrowing of the vessels can pose a health risk.

HDL cholesterol is its counterpart. On its way to the liver it clears deposited LDL cholesterol from the vessels without itself accumulating. Phytosterols help maintain the balance between HDL and LDL by reducing the absorption of cholesterol from food and thus lowering total cholesterol levels.

Natural sources for a cholesterol‑conscious diet

Many of the nutrients contained in the Cholesterol* Complex are also found in everyday foods. Phytosterols occur in plant oils, nuts and wholegrain products. Oilseeds, pulses, vegetables and fruit kernels, as well as garlic and artichokes, also support a cholesterol‑conscious diet. In addition, consuming fruit and vegetables in general is important for a balanced cholesterol profile and vitamin supply. Beta‑glucans are found in oats and barley. Some foods, such as margarines, are also fortified with added plant sterols to facilitate their intake. Consuming these foods can likewise make a positive contribution to cholesterol regulation.

Who our Cholesterol* Complex capsules are suitable for

Our Cholesterol* Complex capsules have been developed for people who have been shown to need to monitor their cholesterol levels. They offer a convenient and effective way to increase the intake of phytosterols and thus help regulate cholesterol levels.
