Studies show that the extract also boosts the flow of bile from the gallbladder. Bile plays a key role in the excretion of excess cholesterol from the body. One study showed that individuals who took Artichoke Extract lowered their cholesterol by an average of 18 percent.Beta-SitosterolBeta-sitosterol is plant sterol found in almost all plants. It is one of the main subcomponents of a group of plant sterols known as pytosterols. It has a chemical structure that is very similar to cholesterol. It has been known for over three decades that it supports healthy cholesterol levels. Its close chemical resemblance to cholesterol enables it to block the absorption of cholesterol by competitive inhibition. Although beta-sitosterol is not well absorbed by the body (5-10%), when consumed with cholesterol it effectively blocks cholesterol's absorption, resulting in lower serum cholesterol levels.Guar GumGuar gum is a water-soluble, dietary fiber that binds with and absorbs undesirable intestinal substances and removes them from the system. Guar Gum can be very supportive in maintaining a healthy heart. A diet high in water-soluble Guar bean fiber (Guar Gum) is associated with reduced risk of heart attacks and is known to support healthy cholesterol levels. The glucomannan content in Guar Gum is believed to help lower cholesterol by binding with it and preventing it from being absorbed through the intestines.NiacinNiacin promotes lower levels of LDL, bad cholesterol, and supports healthy levels of HDL, good cholesterol. Niacin Flush-Free provides all the good effects of niacin without the unwanted and unpleasant flush reaction.PolicosanolPolicosanol is relatively recent on the non-prescription, healthy cholesterol levels list. Policosanol consists of a mixture of fatty alcohols derived from waxes of sugar cane, yams and beeswax. It is thought that the alcohols in policosanol may act on cholesterol metabolism in the liver.
