Cholesterol Complex Formula seems to provide comprehensive nutritional support for maintaining already healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels naturally.*
Its key ingredient, Ankascin® 568-P, is a clinically studied, monacolin-free fermented red yeast rice (Monascus purpureus), making it a potential alternative to traditional cholesterol-support supplements.*
This advanced formula is a key addition to our selection of supplements and vitamins for cholesterol management.
Composition and Potential Benefits of Cholesterol Complex Formula*
Our Cholesterol Complex Formula combines three carefully selected nutrients to help support balanced lipid metabolism:*
- Ankascin® 568-P: a monacolin-free, clinically studied fermented red yeast rice extract, standardized to potentially deliver bioactive compounds, monascin (0.7%) and ankaflavin (0.23%).* Clinical trials seem to indicate it may help maintain balanced LDL and HDL levels, along with triglycerides, blood sugar, and blood pressure already in normal ranges.* Preliminary research might also suggest potential benefits for body composition and cognitive health.* Overall, Ankascin® 568-P appears to demonstrate a strong safety profile across clinical studies.*
- Artichoke extract: standardized in cynarin, this ingredient has been researched for supporting already healthy cholesterol metabolism by promoting efficient lipid processing and protecting lipids from oxidative stress.* This extract is specifically derived from the nutrient-rich stems and leaves.
- Policosanols from sugar cane: these well-studied fatty alcohols may support healthy cholesterol synthesis and promote increased levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol.* Research seems to suggest policosanols’ potentially beneficial role in natural cholesterol management and healthy lipid metabolism.*
6 Potential Benefits of Cholesterol Complex Formula*
Our cholesterol-management supplement may have 6 main strengths:*
- Monacolin-free formula: free from traditional monacolins found in typical red yeast rice, making it suitable for individuals looking for alternative lipid support without potential statin-like side effects.*
- Clinically researched ingredient: Ankascin® 568-P has been validated through multiple clinical trials demonstrating its potential beneficial effects on lipid health.*
- Holistic lipid support: provides possible comprehensive metabolic benefits beyond traditional cholesterol supplements, potentially supporting balanced triglyceride, glucose, and blood pressure levels.*
- Clinically proven dosage: delivers the exact amount (440 mg/day) used in clinical research encouraging lipid-supportive effects.*
- Synergistic nutrient blend: combines clinically researched Ankascin® 568-P, artichoke extract, and policosanols for potential natural lipid support.*
- Clean, plant-based capsules: formulated in vegetable-based HPMC capsules with minimal excipients, featuring natural acacia gum.*
