Ask the Pharmacist

Is it possible to exceed the recommended dosage of Cardiol?

Dear Edward,

lhe answer in question concerns the old formulation of Cardiol: it provided an initial dosage of 2/3 pearls per day and was composed of Omega-3, phytosterols, and hydroxytyrosol. It was later revised in order to create an even more effective supplement againsthypercholesterolemia.

Fermented red rice, polycosanols, bioflavonoids and other important added actives endowed the product with an even more completecardiovascular prevention action. The recommended dose for the Cardiol you usually use is 1 pearl per day, taken before dinner.

On the advice of your attending physician you may raise this dosage up to 2 pearls per day.

I remain available for further information on this issue.

Best regards

Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
