What to do to combat high cholesterol and triglycerides?
Dear Francesco,
In case of high triglycerides and cholesterol, my advice is to discuss with your doctor the possibility of taking the products Cardiol Forte and Meaquor 1000. Cardiol Forte is a dietary supplement based on omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from fish oil, fermented red yeast rice extract, olive extract standardized in hydroxytyrosol, and coenzyme Q10. The formulation is completed by vitamin E, piperine, and folic acid (important for the proper metabolism of homocysteine, a metabolite that in excess increases cardiovascular risk).
Moreover, the intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA daily contributes to normal cardiac function. Cardiol Forte also contains artichoke extract. This powdered extract obtained from the leaves of Cynara cardunculus L. is standardized to 10% chlorogenic acid and derivatives (bio-phenols) and 2% luteolin 7-glucoside and derivatives (flavonoids). The bio-phenols in the artichoke extract have choleretic, cholagogue, and hepatoprotective activity; furthermore, the flavonoids inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis and protect LDL from oxidative damage.
Meaquor 1000 is a dietary supplement with a high concentration of omega-3 DHA and EPA. Meaquor 1000 is particularly indicated to help control blood triglycerides and blood pressure. With 2 grams per day of EPA and DHA, it promotes the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels; this dosage can be reached with 2 capsules per day of Meaquor 1000 taken with a main meal.
However, it should be remembered that a diet low in animal fats and rich in vegetables, together with regular physical exercise, represents the first strategy to reduce “bad” cholesterol and improve the lipid profile in general. We naturally recommend informing your doctor about all dietary changes (diet, supplements) you intend to adopt, as well as discussing the possibility of using our products: all this to decide with him the most appropriate therapy.
