Information about your cholesterol-lowering and menopause supplements

Dear Marina,

Our Omega-3 supplements are useful to normalize blood lipid values:

  • triglycerides
  • HDL
  • total cholesterol
  • LDL

Your husband can continue to take 1-2 pearls of Omegor Vitality 1000: this can be combined with Cardiol, a supplement for cholesterol control rich in active ingredients and vitamins able to promote cardiovascular health. In particular, Omega-3 EPA and DHA help to:

  • reduce blood triglycerides;
  • promote an increase in "good" HDL cholesterol;
  • stabilize heart rate and rhythm.

Red yeast rice, bioflavonoids, policosanols, tocotrienols, and vitamin B3 work synergistically to effectively favor the reduction of LDL cholesterol, the so-called "bad cholesterol". Cardiol, thanks to folic acid and vitamin B12, helps reduce plasma homocysteine levels, a metabolite harmful to the vascular endothelium. Through the optimal supply of antioxidants such as resveratrol, coenzyme Q10, sesamin, and piperine, it helps to counteract oxidative stress, one of the main causes of cellular deterioration.

The recommended dose for Cardiol is 1 pearl per day, preferably before dinner, for at least 8 weeks. After this initial period, repeating blood tests will make it possible to evaluate the effect of the supplementation. Please inform your doctor if you decide to start a dietary supplementation alongside other pharmacological therapies. You can instead take Omegor Antiage, a dietary supplement of Omega-3 EPA and DHA, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) from borage oil, and a synergistic complex of antioxidants. Several scientific studies have shown that the association between Omega-3 and Omega-6 is particularly useful to:

  • ensure proper skin trophism;
  • perform an effective anti-inflammatory action;
  • balance mood tone.

The anti-inflammatory effect of GLA has also been studied to counteract excessive skin dryness, skin aging, and atopic eczema. The Omegor Antiage formulation also contains important nutrients with marked antioxidant activity (Resveratrol, Curcumin, Tocotrienols, and Coenzyme Q10) capable of:

  • counteracting the formation of free radicals;
  • preventing inflammatory and oxidative processes underlying cellular aging.

The recommended dose is 1 pearl per day, to be taken before a main meal. If you want to increase your daily intake of Omega-3 fatty acids, you can combine 1 pearl of Omegor Vitality 1000 with Omegor Antiage. I hope I have been helpful and I remain at your disposal for further information.
