Cholesterol Formula
Doctor Schuhmacher
Overview
This 'Cholesterol Formula' combines several well-researched ingredients known for their potential to support cardiovascular health and lipid profiles. While Plant Sterols and Stanols, Red Yeast Rice, Curcumin, Garlic, and Hawthorn all have evidence supporting their individual benefits, the effectiveness of the entire blend is questionable due to the presence of a 'Proprietary Blend' which obscures the specific dosages of several key ingredients. This lack of transparency means it is impossible to confirm if all ingredients are provided at clinically effective doses, potentially limiting the overall efficacy.
The Good
Includes Plant Sterols and Stanols at a clinically relevant dose for cholesterol reduction.
Contains Curcumin Extract, offering anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
Incorporates multiple ingredients known to support cardiovascular health (Red Yeast Rice, Garlic, Hawthorn, Seaweed, Curcumin, Plant Sterols).
The Bad
Extensive reliance on a 'Proprietary Blend' where specific amounts of key ingredients (Red Yeast Rice, Garlic Extract, Hawthorn Extract, Seaweed Extract) are undisclosed, making efficacy and safety difficult to assess.
Red Yeast Rice's presence without a disclosed monacolin K content poses a risk of inconsistent dosing and potential interactions with statin medications.
Tribulus Terrestris is included (600mg) but has limited direct evidence for cholesterol management, potentially using space that could be filled by more effective ingredients.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals looking to support healthy cholesterol levels, those with a family history of high cholesterol
