What to do to counteract high cholesterol and triglycerides?
Dear Francis,
in case of high triglycerides and cholesterol, my advice is to evaluate with your doctor to take the products Cardiol Forte e Meaquor 1000. Cardiol Forte is a dietary supplement containing omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from fish oil, fermented red rice extract, Olive extract titrated to Hydroxytyrosol and Coenzyme Q10. Vitamin E, piperine, and folic acid (important for proper metabolism of homocysteine, a metabolite that in excess increases cardiovascular risk) complete the formulation.
In addition, taking 250 mg of EPA and DHA daily contributes to normal heart function. Cardiol Forte also contains Artichoke extract. This powdered extract obtained from the leaves of artichoke Cynara cardunculus L. is titrated to 10 percent chlorogenic acid and derivatives (biophenols) and 2 percent luteolin 7-glucoside and derivatives (flavonoids). The biophenols in Artichoke extract have cholagogic, choleretic and hepatoprotective activities; In addition, the flavonoids present inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis and protect LDL from oxidative damage.
Meaquor 1000 is a dietary supplement with high concentration of the omega-3s DHA and EPA. Meaquor 1000 is particularly good for keeping blood triglycerides and blood pressure under control. With 2 grams per day of EPA and DHA, maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels is promoted; this dosage is achieved with 2 capsules per day of Meaquor 1000 taken with a main meal.
However, it should be remembered that diet low in animal fats and rich in vegetables along with regular exercise are the first strategy to reduce "bad" cholesterol and improve the lipid picture in general. Of course, we recommend that you inform your treating physician about all the dietary arrangements (diet, food supplements) that you plan to adopt as well as talk about the possibility of using our products: all this in order to decide with him the most appropriate therapy.
