NSI Synergy Healthy Cholesterol Multi-Vitamin version 3 - 180 Capsules

NSI Synergy Healthy Cholesterol Multi-Vitamin version 3 - 180 Capsules

Helps maintain favorable cholesterol levels and has powerful antioxidants for supporting overall cardiovascular wellness. Synergy Healthy Cholesterol Multi-Vitamin Version 3 is for people who want to improve their cholesterol blood levels, especially to lower LDL-cholesterol (the “bad cholesterol”), to promote cardiovascular health with a powerful variety of antioxidants, and to promote total body health.  . How does NSI® Synergy Healthy Cholesterol Multi-Vitamin work? Red Yeast Rice and No-Flush Niacin: Synergy Healthy Cholesterol Multi-Vitamin provides 1,200 mg of red yeast rice and 500 mg of No-Flush Niacin, which together promote healthy cholesterol levels. Red yeast rice is the by-product formed when cooked rice is covered by a growth of red yeast, and then undergoes the process of fermentation. Red yeast rice, at 1,200 mg, has been shown to decrease the production of LDL-cholesterol (the "bad cholesterol"). No-Flush Niacin (vitamin B3 in the slow-release form of inositol hexaniacinate) may help lower triglyceride and may also help raise HDL-cholesterol (the “good cholesterol”). LDL-Cholesterol, the “bad cholesterol,” is oxidized by free radicals in the blood, deposited in the arteries, followed by a local inflammatory reaction and later plaques on the arterial walls which may block the flow of blood. Synergy Healthy Cholesterol has powerful antioxidants, including coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10, 100 mg), alpha lipoic acid (300 mg), acetyl L-carnitine (500 mg), pomegranate extract (500 mg), green tea extract (500 mg), turmeric extract (100 mg), quercetin (100 mg) and lycopene (4 mg), which may inhibit the initial step of LDL-cholesterol oxidation and thus may promote healthy arteries. Pomegranate Juice has a variety of antioxidant polyphenols including the most important and potent group called punicosides.  Synergy Healthy Cholesterol has a full-spectrum pomegranate extract (500 mg; standardized as 40% punicosides) which is approximately equivalent in antioxidants to two glasses of pomegranate juice. Human clinical trials reported that drinking one glass daily of pomegranate juice improved the arteries in the heart and improved the carotid arteries in the neck. Green Tea: Drinking three cups of green tea daily has been reported to be associated with protection of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. Synergy Healthy Cholesterol includes 500 mg of a potent Green Tea Extract (standardized to 98% polyphenols, 80% catechins, 45% EGCG), which is roughly equivalent in antioxidant activity to drinking three cups of green tea. CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl L-Carnitine: Human clinical studies have reported that CoQ10 as well as carnitine may improve cardiovascular function and protect the heart. The synergistic combination of CoQ10 (100 mg), alpha lipoic acid (300 mg) and acetyl L-carnitine (500 mg) found in Synergy Healthy Cholesterol may improve and protect cellular energy production, guard healthy cells from free radical damage, and protect the heart and brain.    . Vision: Synergy Healthy Cholesterol may also provide eye and vision protection  with 6 mg of lutein and the antioxidant power of CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, acetyl L-carnitine, green tea extract, vitamin C (500 mg as mineral ascorbate complex Advan-C®), vitamin E, quercetin and 30 mg of chelated, highly absorbable zinc (as L-OptiZinc®). Bone, Cell Division, Glucose, Immune Function and Prostate: This multi-vitamin may enhance bone health with vitamin D3 (1000 IU), vitamin K (300 mcg), magnesium (200 mg) and chelated boron (3 mg). Furthermore, vitamin D3 together with quercetin and other antioxidants may promote healthy cell division. Chromium (400 mcg as ChromeMate®), biotin (1,000 mcg) and alpha lipoic acid may support healthy glucose levels. Vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc and selenium may help strengthen immune function. Selenium (200 mcg), vitamin D3, pomegranate extract and lycopene may protect the prostate. Please note: The majority of the body's LDL-cholesterol is produced in the liver at night. If you choose to take the complete 6 capsule daily serving of Synergy Healthy Cholesterol Multi-Vitamin with one meal, dinner is the optimal time. If you prefer to break the serving up into 3 capsules twice daily, then the best times are 3 capsules with lunch and 3 capsules with dinner. NSI® Synergy Healthy Cholesterol Multi-Vitamin is better because it:. •  Provides 1,200 mg of Red Yeast Rice and 500 mg of No-Flush Niacin which may promote healthy cholesterol levels. •  Contains CoQ10 (100 mg), alpha lipoic acid (300 mg), acetyl L-carnitine (500 mg), pomegranate extract (500 mg), green tea extract (500 mg), turmeric extract (100 mg), quercetin (100 mg) and lycopene (4 mg) which may inhibit the initial step of oxidation of LDL-cholesterol and thus may promote healthy arteries. •  Serves as a comprehensive multi-vitamin featuring effective doses of powerful antioxidants and other nutrients which may promote healthy heart, brain, eyes, bones, immune function, cell division and blood sugar levels, as well as protect the prostate.  . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"It took me only 40 days to drop 20 points from 250 to 230, which is still high but will keep trying. Didn't do any changes in my diet, although I don't eat meals with too much fat. Would definetely recommend this to anybody. Not only cholesterol went down but tryglicerides also and good cholesterol went up. Amazingly effective compared to other natural stuff claiming the same benefits."

"Except for the amount needed to be taken, (6 per day) the quality of each ingredient is exceptional. I eat healthily, I believe I am receiving good amounts in my diet, so,I tend to take 3 before bedtime, after a small snack. B-vitamins can encourage appetite. If your going to be asleep, it won't make this occur."
