Cholesterolformule PRO from Vitals contains a selection of three special plant extracts, which have been extensively researched. Two of them are of Mediterranean origin. The sun shines abundantly around the Mediterranean Sea, resulting in an abundant harvest of citrus fruits and olives, which are rich in important ingredients (the so-called polyphenols, a large group of plant compounds with a similar molecular structure). Olives and olive oil are widely known for their healthy properties. For example, olives naturally contain a polyphenol called hydroxytyrosol, which helps protect blood fats (such as cholesterol) from oxidative damage. Berberine is a substance extracted from the plant Berberis aristata. It provides broad support for cardiovascular health, including by contributing to the maintenance of normal cholesterol levels. Last but not least, Cholesterol Formula Pro contains the ingredient BPF™, a unique extract from the pear-shaped citrus fruit of the bergamot tree (Citrus bergamia).

Blood lipids
Blood lipids are the fats that are transported in the blood to their target tissues. These mainly consist of cholesterol and triglycerides. The term "cholesterol" comes from the Greek chole, meaning "bile," and stereos, "solid." Indeed, cholesterol is one of the building blocks of bile, but it is also extremely important for the construction of cell membranes, various hormones and vitamin D. Triglycerides play a role in energy production in the cell and form a protective fat layer around organs. The blood levels of all these blood lipids are strictly regulated so that they do not become too high or too low.

People often talk about 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol. However, this does not refer to cholesterol itself (because it only has one form), but to the transport particle (lipoprotein) in which cholesterol is transported. After all, blood lipids are not soluble by themselves in a watery substance such as blood. That is why a transport particle is needed to be able to transport these substances. The exterior of a lipoprotein consists of a shell of water-soluble proteins (apolipoproteins) and phospholipids. The globule contains the cholesterol and triglycerides. The most well-known lipoproteins are high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Fat metabolism is an extremely complex subject, but simply put, you could say that LDL-cholesterol is responsible for the transport of cholesterol from the liver to the body cells in particular, and HDL-cholesterol for the reverse transport of cholesterol from the body cells back to the liver. . It is important for good health that the levels of various blood lipids remain within normal levels. There are many ways to maintain a responsible cholesterol level. A good lifestyle is of great importance, such as sufficient exercise and a healthy and varied diet. A nutritional supplement can provide extra support in this respect.

Berberine
In recent years, there has been increasing attention for berberine. This substance occurs in various plants including Berberis aristata, also known as Indian barberry or tree turmeric. The berberine in Cholesterolformule PRO is isolated from the root of this plant and incorporated into the product in a very pure form. Berberine provides broad health support. It helps with blood sugar regulation, is good for the liver and supports the heart and blood vessels, partly by contributing to the maintenance of normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Berberine does this by helping the body regulate the normal synthesis and breakdown of cholesterol and triglycerides. In addition, it contributes to the excretion of cholesterol via the bile. There are many human studies that have shown the effectiveness of berberine on blood lipid levels. This shows, among other things, that for optimal effect it is important to use a preparation containing berberine consistently for at least three months.

Bergamot extract
The bergamot tree (Citrus bergamia Risso & Poiteau) mainly grows in Calabria, the southern Italian region at the tip of the boot. Bergamot oil is extracted from the peel of the fruit, which is used, among other things, as a characteristic aroma in the world-famous Earl Gray tea. The fruit itself contains an exceptionally high content of polyphenols with a unique composition. The bergamot extract with the brand name BPF™ (Bergamot Polyphenolic Fraction®), lovingly made by the southern Italian company H&AD, consists of no less than 38% polyphenols (neoeriocitrin, naringin, neohesperidin, melitidine, brutieridine). H&AD is regarded as one of the experts in the field of natural products based on the bergamot fruit. BPF™ is produced by them according to a specially developed and patented extraction method. Bergamot extract is a nice addition to the other polyphenols (berberine and hydroxytyrosol) in Cholesterolformule PRO.

Hydroxytyrosol (Olive Extract)
Hydroxytyrosol is one of the main ingredients in olives. It is formed from precursor oleuropein, which is converted more and more into hydroxytyrosol as the olives ripen. This polyphenol is known as one of the most powerful plant antioxidants for protecting blood lipids. It is effective even in very low doses. LDL cholesterol in particular is sensitive to oxidation and to maintain normal function of this lipoprotein it is essential that the particle is protected against oxidative damage. Because of this action, hydroxytyrosol is ideally suited as part of this formula that contributes in several ways to the maintenance of normal blood lipids. The olive extract Hytolive® from producer Genosa contains a high content of hydroxytyrosol and is naturally produced from olives grown in Spain, the world's largest producer of olives and olive oil.
