High Cholesterol: Can I Combine Omega-3 and Chitosan with Cardiol Forte?
Good morning, I am taking Cardiol Forte for high cholesterol, can I also take chitosan and omega-3? Thank you
Dear Francesco,
Cardiol Forte, thanks to the presence of a natural statin called monacolin K, acts on high cholesterol by reducing the cholesterol produced in our body by the liver. This production happens at night, so it is advisable to take Cardiol Forte in the evening with dinner. One capsule of Cardiol Forte contains 10 mg of monacolin K; this allows for a good reduction of high blood cholesterol within two months of supplementation, even in cases of elevated values. You can find some information about monacolin in some articles on our blog, like this one.
My advice is to continue supplementation with Cardiol Forte and after two months have routine blood tests to verify the reduction of blood cholesterol. If the effect obtained with Cardiol Forte is not sufficient, you may, in agreement with your doctor, associate chitosan, to be taken with water before meals to inhibit intestinal absorption of cholesterol and triglycerides.
You can combine Cardiol Forte with an Omega-3 product, such as Omegor Vitality 1000 (30 or 45 capsules pack) at a dosage of 1-2 capsules per day with a meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner). If you will take the chitosan product in the future, I recommend spacing the administration times, for example Omegor Vitality at breakfast or dinner and chitosan at lunch.
Kind regards,
