Hypercholesterolemia and hyperuricemia: what to do?

Elevated hypercholesterolemia and hyperuricemia. I am currently on an acid-base diet, but I still don't see results. I would like to avoid traditional treatments(moreover, I have done them before): I was thinking of Cardiol Forte, but I can't find anything for hyperuricemia. Thank you


Dear Madam, 


Thank you for contacting us. As you have already noted, in cases of elevated hypercholesterolemia the most useful product is Cardiol Forte because it contains the EFSA-approved dosage of monacolin K for maintaining normal blood cholesterol levels. In addition, the presence of omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil works synergistically with monacolin K from red rice to act even more effectively on hypercholesterolemia. 


The recommended dosage for Cardiol Forte is 1 capsule daily, taken in the evening near dinner for a period of at least 2 months. After this time, it is a good idea to repeat the tests to check the effectiveness of the supplementation on hypercholesterolemia. 


Regardinghyperuricemia, I can tell you that from the dietary point of view, omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil may be useful to you because of their potential anti-inflammatory effect: with prolonged use over time they may help you to moderately reduce the typical joint inflammation that occurs due to the precipitation of uric acid crystals. In this case she could add a pure, concentrated fish oil supplement such as Omegor Vitality to the supplementation with Cardiol Forte-I recommend 1 or 2 capsules daily with meals. 


Finally, at this link you will be able to find sound nutritional advice regarding hyperuricemia. I remain available for any needs. 


Sincerely,
