What is Cholest-Natural?
Cholest-Natural is a new generation natural formula that safely and naturally addresses the problems of excess cholesterol production and absorption in your body. It helps you to normalize essential cholesterol levels. 

Even though policosanol comes from natural sugar cane it will NOT raise blood sugar levels and is safe for diabetics to use.

It does help for most people.  However, if you have excessively high cholesterol you would be advised to add our Omega 3 DHA fish oil at a double dose to your daily supplement regime.

Very.  Triglyceride is another name for fat. Triglycerides are produced in the body from the conversion of glycogen. Glycogen is caused by an intake of sugar through excessive carbohydrates... not fat.  You should always test your triglycerides at the same time you check your cholesterol. 

What happens if my cholesterol level gets too high?
Too much cholesterol in your body can narrow your arteries due to the excessive build-up of fat against your artery walls. This is very common and is the reason artherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and strokes are on the increase.

What happens if my cholesterol level gets too low?
It is not good to have to low a cholesterol level as it can be as dangerous as one that is too high. For example, cholesterol affects serotonin levels in the brain. Too low a level results in a reduction in serotonin, leading to states of depression. Increases in cancers, senility and impotence have also been linked to low cholesterol levels. Sometimes a statin drug will push cholesterol to dangerously low levels.  Cholest-Natural will not.

Is Cholest-Natural really ‘all-natural’?
Yes. Cholest-Natural contains no pharmaceutical ingredients and so does not require a prescription. It is formulated from 100% quality natural ingredients, each using a specific combination and dosage for optimal efficacy. All ingredients undergo vigorous studies at molecular level to ensure their compatibility to provide maximum beneficial effect.

Do you have any trials or studies to substantiate the effectiveness of your formula?
We have a large database of independent clinical studies on the ingredients used in this product. Many of these can be viewed on the Ingredients tab above.

Do you have any specific examples of the effectiveness of your actual formula?
Yes we do...if you go to the Customer Results tab in the left hand menu you will see a selection of unsolicited results for customers.

How many bottles do I need to purchase to see a difference and how long will it take Cholest-Natural to work?
For best results we suggest that you follow our 'recommended protocol’ suggestions. It is recommended that Cholest-Natural is taken for at least 90 days at the rate of 2 soft gels per day.  

Is it safe to double up the dose for a month or two?
Yes, all ingredients in the formula are safe to double up on. Doubling up for a month or two can be quite a sound idea in the initial period, but only if your cholesterol levels are very high. Otherwise just stay with the recommended daily dose of 2 soft gels per day.

What if after 90 days there has been no improvement in my Cholesterol levels?
Firstly you need to ensure that you have your before and after HDL and LDL readings.  Sometimes total cholesterol can acutally go up but the formula is working.  This is because Cholest-Natural will often raise HDL levels to an extent that the total Cholesterol readings are also increased.

If however your HDL and LDL levels have not improved then it would seem that you are one of these people who will not respond to the formula.  It should be kept in mind that some people also do not respond to statin drugs either.  Cholest-Natural will not however force your cholesterol down to a low unnatural level. You may have genetically high cholesterol and these higher levels may be right for you.

If your cholesterol will not come down you still may not be at risk providing your triglycerides are OK, and so is your homocysteine and C-Reactive Protein.

What is C-Reactive Protein? 
This is a marker for inflammation in the blood. The ingredients in Cholest-Natural are known to help reduce inflammation.

When should I take the supplement?
It is best to take both soft gels just prior to your evening meal.

You could continue to take the same dose (2 soft gels per day) for another few months and then have another lab test. If your levels are good you can perhaps cut down to a maintenance dose of 1 soft gel per day, or, alternatively you may wish to switch to one of our Total Balance supplements which will help you maintain your gains and give you many other benefits as well.

Are there any discounts for bulk purchases?
Yes, there are.  Please refer to the tab entitled save money for details.

Are there any side effects associated with taking Cholest-Natural?
Cholest-Natural is a complete natural product, so the potential for negative side effects is greatly reduced, or eliminated in most cases. Some people can still have reactions to particular ingredients however and conflicts with prescription medications can occur.

Can Cholest-Natural be taken while pregnant or nursing?
Other than our Omega 3 formula we are not able to recommend any of our supplements to women who are pregnant or nursing. If you are in this situation and wish to take this product please consult your personal physician before use.

Will Cholest-Natural interfere with other prescription medications?

It is always recommended to consult with your physician prior to adding any supplement to your current regimen. Alternatively, you may email us with regard to advice on potential conflicts with particular medications or other natural substances.

I am taking a statin drug prescribed by my GP. Can I come off this and onto Cholest-Natural?
Unfortunately this is a question that only your physician can answer. Explain to him/her that you would like to try a natural alternative. However, if you are on a statin drug at the moment you will probably experience a 'spike' in your levels if you go 'cold turkey'. Talk to your physician about starting two soft gels per day of Cholest-Natural and cutting your statin dose down by a third for 30 days.

Then for the next 30 days cut the 2/3rd dose down to 1/3rd and have your physician test your levels again at the end of 60 days.  If your levels have stayed constant or only had a minimal increase then ask your physician if you can drop off the statin drug altogether! Thereafter, your physician may only need you to have an annual cholesterol blood test.

Have many people successfully replaced their statin drug with this product?
Yes, indeed many of our customers have done so. Once again however it is something that should be done carefully and in conjunction with regular testing and your physician, particularly in the early stages.

Since being treated for my elevated cholesterol levels I have problems concentrating and my memory is poor. Could this be anything to do with my statin medication?
It is very possible that your statin drug could be involved in this side effect. Many negative and detrimental side effects have been noted from statin drug use, including poor memory, lack of concentration and severe muscle weakness. 

I am taking other nutritional supplements and natural medications. Is this ok?
Although there is generally no problem taking additional supplements or remedies from other suppliers, it is usually unnecessary as Xtend-Life have put together their combined Cholest-Natural and Total Balance protocols to cover most peoples' needs.

You can still add other supplements however, whether they are from us or someone else. It is important to remember though that an excess of additional supplements or ingredients can potentially cause negative results and in severe cases be detrimental to health. Xtend-Life product ranges are designed to be taken in combination, eliminating these risks.

What else can I do to help balance my Cholesterol levels?
It is still desirable to ensure your diet and nutritional regimes are of the best quality for general optimum health. This should include a good balance of whole, natural foods and drinks, including lots of fresh vegetables and fruits.

It is important to ensure that your intake of Omega 3 essential fatty acids are high enough. Our Xtend-Life Omega 3 DHA/Esters are excellent for this.

Our Total Balance formula also contains a lot of very potent nutrients that will help your heart, such as Hawthorne extract. If you add Xtend-Life Total Balance to your supplement range as well as our Omega 3 product you will not only be doing your heart a big favor, but other organs too.

Foods containing vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, pantethine (the active form of vitamin B5 - pantothenic acid), chromium and copper; foods rich in lycopenes; individual foods like garlic and onions, chilli peppers, shiitake mushrooms, artichokes, soy products for their isoflavone content; grapes, orange juice…all these may benefit your health, and in particular your heart.

Foods high in soluble fiber are also helpful, e.g. brown rice bran, oat bran and psyllium.

Exercise is of course important to keep your heart and circulation in peak condition. Even moderate exercise, such as a 30 minute walk a day, some weight bearing exercise during your week and some relaxing exercise such as yoga or swimming, is plenty enough to keep your body in trim, both inside and out.
