Cholesterol MGR

Ingredient Summary for Cholesterol MGRx

Beta-Sitosterol Complex

• Beta-Sitosterol: Plant sterols similar to cholesterol. Found in many plants and herbs. Helps normalize cholesterol by inhibiting its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, thus controlling total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and TAG levels.

Beta-Sitosterol (Saw Palmetto Berry Extract)

• Saw Palmetto Berry: Rich in fatty acids and important phytosterols.

Beta-Sitosterol (Cucurbita Seed Extract)

• Pumpkin Seeds: High in essential fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and rich in phytosterols (270-289 mg/100 g).

Beta-Sitosterol (Urtica Dioca Leaf Extract)

• Stinging Nettle: Contains important phytonutrients including histamine, acetylcholine, and serotonin.

Beta-Sitosterol (Smilax Root Extract)

• Smilax Root: Adaptogenic tropical plant rich in flavonoids.

Pygeum Bark Extract (Pygeum Afrcanum)

• Pygeum: Contains beta-sitosterol, plant estrogens, triterpenes, ferulic acids, and more. Reduces prolactin levels and blocks cholesterol in some glands.

Alanine Complex (L-Alanine, Beta-Alanine)

• Alanine: Non-essential amino acid. Regulates blood sugar, promotes proper blood glucose levels, and is involved in gluconeogenesis.

Quercetin

• Quercetin: Plant pigment and dominant flavonoid in citrus fruit. Has anti-inflammatory properties.

L-Glutamic Acid

• Glutamic Acid (Glutamate): Non-essential amino acid. Precursor to Glutamine and GABA. Key in cellular metabolism and serves as metabolic fuel.

Lycopene

• Lycopene: Strong antioxidant activity, inhibits cholesterol synthesis, and may enhance LDL breakdown in the liver. Found primarily in tomatoes and other plants, imparting red color.

L-Glycine

• Glycine: Non-essential amino acid used by the liver for synthesizing other nonessential amino acids. Acts to reduce lipid synthesis and aids in cholesterol and triglyceride reduction in blood plasma.

Zinc (Monomethionine)

• Zinc: Essential nutrient involved in about 3,000 protein complexes in the body.

Copper (Glycinate Chelate)

• Copper: Essential for hemoglobin production and function, collagen, and elastin. Competes with zinc for absorption; a 10:1 dietary balance is required.

Selenium (L-Selenomethionine)

• Selenium: Essential mineral for producing glutathione peroxidase, an important antioxidant. Functions as a cofactor for antioxidant enzymes and plays a role in cellular apoptosis.

Chromium (Polynicotinate)

• Chromium: Essential for glucose and protein metabolism, cholesterol management, insulin regulation, thyroid function, and serotonin production. Chromium depletion results in ineffective insulin and compromised glucose metabolism, leading to increased cholesterol biosynthesis.

Yohimbe Bark Extract (Pausinystalia Yohimbe)

• Yohimbe: Herb derived from the bark of the yohimbe tree. Increases fatty acid mobilization and decreases fat synthesis.
