Bad Cholesterol: Which Supplement to Use in Premenopause?

Dear Lisa, 

The product I recommend, if your trusted doctor agrees, is Cardiol, a dietary supplement based on red yeast rice, a plant extract rich in Monacolin K, a natural statin useful for keeping blood cholesterol levels under control. 

In addition to Monacolin K, Cardiol is formulated with fish oil rich in EPA and DHA, which support heart function, resveratrol, policosanols, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E, which help protect cells from oxidative stress, and B vitamins that contribute to controlling homocysteine and modulating energy metabolism. 

I recommend taking one Cardiol capsule in the evening just before dinner, to enhance the product’s effectiveness. 

I also remind you to follow a balanced diet and maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. 

Best regards, 

Silvia Lisciani Ph.D. Nutritionist Biologist
