What alternative to the Fulcrosupra?
The blood tests show the following values: HDL at 24; triglycerides 245. What worries me is the low good cholesterol. I would like to know if there is an alternative to the drug Fulcrosupra, which is full of side effects. Thank you.
Dear Giampiero,
Among our dietary supplements, the one that most likely suits your needs is Cardiol Forte.
Cardiol Forte is a dietary supplement based on highly purified and concentrated fish oil Omega-3 EPA and DHA, artichoke extract standardized in chlorogenic acid and luteolin 7-glucoside, monacolins from red yeast rice, olive extract standardized in hydroxytyrosol, and Coenzyme Q10.
The formulation also includes vitamin E, piperine, and folic acid. In particular, the powdered extract obtained from the leaves of the artichoke Cynara cardunculus L. is standardized to 10% chlorogenic acid and derivatives (bio-phenols) and 2% luteolin 7-glucoside and derivatives (flavonoids). The bio-phenols in the artichoke extract have choleretic, cholekinetic, and hepatoprotective activities. Furthermore, the flavonoids inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis and protect LDL from oxidative damage.
Among the benefits of Omega-3, the intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA per day contributes to normal cardiac function. To increase daily Omega-3 intake, you can combine Cardiol Forte with up to 2 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000. Please remember that dietary supplements should not be considered substitutes for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, nor direct substitutes for medications prescribed by competent physicians.
We generally recommend consulting your primary care physician, who is aware of the medications you take, possible interactions with dietary supplement ingredients you regularly use or plan to add, and is familiar with your clinical history. You can certainly discuss with them to get advice on the possibility of using our dietary supplements for your condition.
I remain at your disposal for any further questions.
Best regards,
Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
