Cardiol, Eulipid or Meaquor: which supplement to reduce cholesterol levels without side effects?

For my cholesterol levels I would be interested in purchasing Cardiol (or Eulipid or Meaquor). It might be a good solution since I am a healthy carrier of "hepatitis b" and would not want to resort to statins. Thank you.


Dear Stephen, 


in relation to the side effects you have experienced as a result of taking Armolipid plus, I can tell you that to date we have not received similar reports from clients who routinely use Cardiol.


However, to avoid similar complaints, which could also be related to your increased sensitivity to the component in the formulation, I recommend that you try taking Eulipid. Eulipid is a supplement that does not contain fermented red rice and has Berberine as its main ingredient, a component with a marked hypolipidemic action. 


Bioflavonoids and policosanols are also present in the formulation, which, together with resveratrol, tocotrienols, and Coenzyme Q10, are useful in rebalancing blood levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Eulipid may be a viable alternative for the treatment of dyslipidemia, especially in all cases of non-response or intolerance to statin treatment. 


The recommended daily dose is 1 tablet, preferably before dinner. One packet is therefore sufficient for one month's supplementation. Take it for a period of at least 8 weeks and then repeat the tests to check the effectiveness of the treatment. I recommend, of course, that you always inform your treating physician when you start taking a dietary supplement in conjunction with other drug therapies. 


If you also want to take Omega-3 fatty acids, you can combine Eulipid with 1 or 2 beads of Omegor Vitality 1000 before a main meal-all to improve the absorption and digestibility of the product. I hope I have been helpful and remain available for further information.
