CholestSafe by DoSe is a natural cholesterol lowering supplement containing red yeast rice and policosanol to help maintain healthy cholesterol naturally, including LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol). CholestSafe supplement also helps to reduce high triglyceride levels.
CholestSafe combines the actions of some of the best cholesterol lowering herbs including Red Yeast Rice, Policosanols, Phytosterols, Artichoke Leaf Extract, and nutrients such Coenzyme Q10, Chromium Polynicotinate, and EPA which may help to lower high cholesterol levels.
Red Yeast Rice contains a small amount of lovastatin together with numerous other compounds that have been clinically evaluated and shown to reduce elevated cholesterol levels by approximately 30% within eight weeks without any side effects. Red Yeast Rice also contains Monacolin K which naturally helps to balance the ratio of HDLs (good cholesterol) to LDLs (bad cholesterol) by inhibiting the action of HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme responsible for cholesterol synthesis in the liver.
CholestSafe capsules also contain Artichoke which help to support the liver since this is the primary gland that manufactures and destroys cholesterol.
