Is 1 Cardiol pearl per day enough to rebalance my cholesterol levels?

Dear Valeria,

the most specific product for your case is indeed Cardiolbecause it combines the beneficial effects on cardiovascular health typical of Omega-3 fatty acids with the synergistic and specific action on cholesterol levels typical of red yeast rice, bioflavonoids, policosanols, tocotrienols, and vitamin B3.

Cardiol provides a pool of antioxidants (resveratrol, CoQ10, sesamin, and piperine) that helps to counteract oxidative stress, one of the main causes of cellular deterioration. Start with 1 Cardiol pearl per day, to be taken shortly before dinner, and follow a healthy and balanced diet without making drastic changes or completely eliminating fats. Reduced intake of fatty foods is certainly helpful; however, to counteract cholesterol increase it is also necessary to pay attention to high glycemic index foods, which induce insulin release that stimulates cholesterol production by the liver.

Therefore, try to limit the consumption of refined carbohydrates and prefer less refined ones (whole grains, fruits, and vegetables), foods rich in fiber and slow-release starches that are absorbed more slowly and keep insulin levels steady. Repeat the tests after 8 weeks of treatment with Cardiol to verify the effectiveness of the supplementation.

To increase your daily intake of Omega-3 fatty acids, you can combine Cardiol with 1-2 pearls of Omegor Vitality 1000, to be taken before a main meal. I remain available for any further questions.

Best regards.
