Description:
Lipid Support Formula contains well-researched phytosterols and a powerful profile of specifically studied polyphenols to encourage healthy lipid metabolism through a number of mechanisms. Over 30 randomized trials suggest that phytosterols provide statistically significant support for healthy lipid metabolism. Phytosterols maintain healthy lipid utilization in the intestines, enhance bile acid secretion, support liver receptor function and maintain healthy enzyme activity. Teaflavin® is a unique, patented green tea extract concentrated in theaflavins, generally found in small amounts in both black and green tea. Theaflavins are polyphenols with distinct health properties, including cardiovascular support. In a double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial involving 240 men and women, Teaflavin® green tea extract provided statistically significant support for healthy lipid metabolism. In a randomized, controlled, double blind, cross-over trial, olive fruit polyphenols, including hydroxytyrosol, promoted healthy lipid metabolism and provided powerful antioxidant protection. Recent trials suggest that grape seed and pomegranate support cardiovascular health and lipid metabolism, in part by maintaining vascular endothelial function, healthy blood flow and antioxidant defense. Studies reveal that pterostilbene, an antioxidant found in blueberries and the Pterocarpus marsupium tree, may promote healthy receptor activity to encourage healthy lipid, triglyceride and glucose metabolism. A recent animal study revealed that the citrus bioflavonoids hesperidin and naringin maintained healthy lipid metabolism during concurrent cholesterol feeding by supporting optimal plasma antioxidant activity.
