Benefits:
- Supports normal-range cholesterol levels.
- Helps maintain already-normal platelet aggregation (clotting).
- Relaxes smooth muscles and improves microcirculation.
- Helps maintain LDL and triglyceride levels already in the normal range.
- Promotes immune system strength.
- Provides antioxidant benefits that may help promote good health and protect the heart.
How It Works:
Each ingredient in this formula plays an important role in the effectiveness of the product. Policosanol appears to perform a similar action in the body as red rice extract. Plant sterols compete with the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Excess plant sterols are not absorbed by the body but are eliminated. Human studies show that policosanol can effectively play a role in maintaining cholesterol levels already in the normal range and that it can help maintain already-normal platelet aggregation (clotting). Inositol nicotinate helps relax smooth muscles and improves microcirculation. Resveratrol maintains LDL and triglyceride levels already in the normal range. Artichoke powder benefits the liver, promotes digestion and is popular in Europe for its ability to maintain cholesterol levels that are already in the normal range.
Ingredients:
Artichoke leaves, phytosterols, inositol nicotinate, resveratrol and policosanol.

Cholester-Reg II was launched in 2001 as a natural formula to support normal-range cholesterol levels in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. This blend utilizes plant sterols to compete with the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Interestingly, excess plant sterols are not absorbed but eliminated. Anciently, the Greeks and Romans ate artichokes (or their cousins, cardoons) for targeted joint support.
Resveratrol was first discovered and isolated from a flowering plant in 1939. This was after researchers noticed that animals and insects eating certain plants lived longer. It took nearly 60 years for resveratrol’s powerful health benefits to become known to the world.
Policosanol came to light decades ago when researchers in Cuba began experimenting with its effects on the circulatory system. Since then, this sugar cane isolate has been studied and found to support the healthy management of lipids in mature adults.
