Hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia: Can Omegor Vitality be the right choice?

Dear Paola,

the most suitable product for your son is Cardiol, a supplement rich in active ingredients and vitamins that promote cardiovascular system health. The Omega-3s in the formulation help to:

  • reduce blood triglycerides;
  • promote the increase of "good" HDL cholesterol;
  • stabilize heart rate and rhythm.
Red yeast rice, bioflavonoids, policosanols, tocotrienols, and vitamin B3 work synergistically to effectively promote the reduction of LDL cholesterol.

Thanks to folic acid and vitamin B12, Cardiol also helps to reduce plasma homocysteine levels, a metabolite harmful to the vascular endothelium. Antioxidants such as resveratrol, CoQ10, sesamin, and piperine help counteract oxidative stress, one of the main causes of cellular deterioration.

The recommended dose for Cardiol is 1 softgel per day, to be taken shortly before dinner for at least two months. To increase the intake of Omega-3, you can combine Cardiol with Meaquor, a formulation extremely rich in Omega-3 EPA and DHA (900 milligrams of EPA and DHA per softgel) specifically designed to reduce blood triglyceride levels. The recommended dose for Meaquor is 1 softgel per day, to be taken shortly before a main meal for at least 2 months.

After 2 months, it would be advisable to repeat a full blood panel to verify the effectiveness of the supplementation. I strongly recommend discussing your son's situation in detail with his doctor, evaluating with them the possibility of using Cardiol and Meaquor. Attached you will find the information sheets for the two products, which you can show to the doctor to make a more informed choice. I remain available for any further information.

Best regards,

Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
