Cardiol or Eulipid: which is preferable in subjects not at cardiac risk?

Good morning, I would like to know whether omega 3 helps to lose weight and whether it helps to fight abdominal fat


Dear Fabio, 


according to the cardiovascular risk prevention program, his values are indeed among the normal range, for which there is no need to implement special therapies. 


Better to emphasize a healthy lifestyle with a varied diet and moderate physical activity. Cardiol is a useful ally for our cardiovascular health because it combines the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA (450 milligrams per capsule) with other active ingredients with great specificity against hypercholesterolemia. For example: the fermented red rice in Cardiol contains monacolin K (3 milligrams per capsule), a natural statin with a structure very similar to lovastatin. 


Recent clinical studies have shown that the combination of fish oil and fermented red rice is effective in reducing cholesterol levels on par with prescription statins. Moreover, it has also been possible to take Cardiol in patients intolerant to statins, with satisfactory results and no side effects. Bioflavonoids, policosanols, tocotrienols, and vitamin B3 work synergistically with fermented red rice to effectively promote LDL cholesterol reduction. 


The recommended dose for Cardiol is 1 pearl per day, taken preferably before dinner and for at least 8 weeks. After this initial period repeat the tests to evaluate the effect of the supplementation. My advice is to talk to your doctor about the possibility of using Cardiol and decide with him on the most appropriate therapy. I remain available for any further questions on this matter. 


Sincerely.
