The National Institute of Health (NIH) recommends ingesting 2,000 mg of plant sterols and stanols daily. What are they and why are they important? Sterols and stanols are found naturally in plants and are structurally similar to cholesterol. Because of these similarities they compete with cholesterol for absorption in the intestines where they bind to receptors in the intestine leaving the cholesterol behind. The result being less cholesterol absorbed by the body and less in the blood stream. Clinically proven in over 80 clinical studies to lower LDL, bad cholesterol, a 10% reduction of which equates to a 10%-20% decrease in the risk for heart disease. This is how it works:

Why is this important and who should take Cholesterol Reduction Complex? First of all high cholesterol is one of the major controllable factors for coronary heart disease. Cholesterol plays an important role in our bodies as a type of fat that helps maintain cell membrane structure and hormone production. When there is too much cholesterol and it gets into the blood stream, the risk of developing heart disease increases. If you are male, older in age, a woman experiencing menopause, have a diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol or have a family history of high cholesterol your chances of developing a problem with high cholesterol are greater.

One in three adults in the U.S. has high cholesterol. This can affect anyone at any age and reduce heart health and cardiovascular function over time in turn increasing the risk of developing heart disease.Some people are predisposed to high cholesterol as the liver produces more than necessary. Others ingest too much cholesterol in the foods they eat on a regular basis like bacon, hot dogs, sausage, pizza (with pepperoni), hamburgers, and steak. I am definitely not opposed to any of these delicious foods. None of us should be as long as we understand limited portions and incorporating a well rounded meal plan. What you put into your body directly effects how it performs. Too much of anything is never good.

You can fight this absorption of cholesterol naturally by decreasing your intake of saturated fat to less than 7% of your total daily calories, decreasing your dietary cholesterol intake to less than 200 mg per day, add at least 20-30 minutes of exercise to your daily routine, add 5-10 g of soluble fiber to your diet each day, lose 10 pounds if you are overweight and add 2,000 mg of plant sterols and stanols to your diet each day. To get this amount of plant sterols and stanols in your diet you would have to eat 6.5 cups of soybeans, 59 oranges, 47.5 cucumbers or take Shaklee’s Cholesterol Reduction Complex.

To make my point more clear here is an actual testimony by a Shaklee user:

IN LATE JULY MY HUSBAND’S CARDIOLOGIST WAS BEGINNING TO TALK “STATINS” WHICH ARE NOT EVEN AN OPTION HERE BECAUSE OF ALL THE SIDE EFFECTS, SO JAMES BEGAN TAKING THE CHOLESTEROL REDUCTION COMPLEX IN LATE JULY.  IN 3 1/2 MONTHS, AFTER TAKING THE CHOLESTEROL REDUCTION COMPLEX,  JAMES’ LDL DROPPED FROM 145 TO 116.  HIS HDL INCREASED FROM 63 TO 78.  HIS CARDIOLOGIST IS AMAZED.  JAMES IS ON NO MEDICATION, ONLY VITAMINS AND HIS DOCTOR IS WANTING INFORMATION OF WHAT HE HAS BEEN TAKING.  HIS OVER ALL RATIO WENT FROM 3.5 TO 1.49. THESE ARE STUNNING RANGES AND IN ONLY 3 1/2 MONTHS.
