I don't understand the difference between Cardiol and Eulipid: which is better for lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels?

I would also like to order something specific for cholesterol and triglycerides. I have read about Cardiol and Eulipid but I don’t understand the difference; could you kindly advise me? I look forward to your kind reply.

Dear Chiara,

Cardiol is a supplement formulated to ensure the overall health of the cardiovascular system.

The Omega-3s present help reduce blood triglycerides, promote an increase in "good" HDL cholesterol, stabilize heart rate and rhythm, etc. 

The Cardiol Forte also contains red yeast rice extract, olive extract standardized in hydroxytyrosol, coenzyme Q10, and an extract of artichoke leaves standardized in bioflavonoids and flavonoids. The bioflavonoids in the artichoke extract have choleretic, cholagogue, and hepatoprotective activities; moreover, the flavonoids inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis and protect LDL from oxidative damage.

The formulation is completed with vitamin E, piperine, and folic acid (which helps reduce plasma homocysteine levels, a metabolite damaging to the vascular endothelium). The recommended dose for Cardiol Forte is 1 capsule per day, to be taken in the evening just before dinner. Eulipid is a supplement that does not contain fish oil and whose main component is berberine. Berberine, as shown by several scientific studies, has both lipid-lowering and blood sugar-lowering effects. 

Studies have shown that the combination of berberine and Citrus bioflavonoids, present in Eulipid, also reduces postprandial hyperglycemia in overweight individuals. The formulation contains bioflavonoids, policosanols, resveratrol, tocotrienols, and CoQ10, useful for rebalancing blood levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. 

Eulipid can be a valid alternative for the treatment of dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome, especially in cases of poor response or intolerance to statin treatment. In this case as well, the recommended daily dose is 1 tablet per day, preferably taken before dinner. One package is therefore sufficient for one month of supplementation. 

Both supplements can also be combined with 1-2 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000, to be taken before a main meal. We suggest you discuss and ask your doctor about the possibility of using our supplements.

I remain available for any further information.

Kind regards,
