Cholesterol Balance
Cholesterol is a soft, waxy, fat-like substance found within the bloodstream and cells of the body. Its synthesis is a naturally occurring process that functions to produce membranes for all cells in the body, including those in the brain, nerves, muscles, skin, liver, intestines, and heart. Cholesterol is also converted into steroid hormones, such as the male and female sex hormones, the adrenal hormones, and vitamin D. In the liver, cholesterol is the precursor to bile acids that aid in the digestion of food, especially fats. However, too much cholesterol in the blood will put you at high risk for heart disease, which may lead to a heart attack, heart failure, and death. High cholesterol levels are also a risk factor for stroke, causing nerve and brain damage. Pantethine inhibits cholesterol and fatty acid syntheses, and modulates the activity of HMG-CoA reductase (the liver enzyme responsible for producing cholesterol).
At 450 mg of per softgel, Cholesterol Balance offers the most potent pantethine supplement on the market. Furthermore, bioavailability is greatly enhanced in the softgel format, in comparison to tablets or capsules.
