Q.
How does LESTEROL® work?
A.
Both the plant sterol and stabilised Allicin are thought to block the
absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol during the normal
digestive process in the small intestine. Allicin is also capable of
preventing the deposit of bad cholesterol (LDL) into your main arteries
by preventing oxidation of naturally produced cholesterol.
Q.
How quickly will I see a result?
A.
Entirely natural extracts like LESTEROL® can take a little longer to
work than pharmaceutical drugs because they offer a cascade of benefits
to the whole body. So it is important to persevere with LESTEROL® for
at least 3 months before you assess its effectiveness. Many other
benefits to your immune, digestive and cardiovascular system are
possible as well as helping to maintain a healthy cholesterol level.
Q.
How much LESTEROL® can I take?
A.
The normal maintenance dose is just 1 capsule per day but you can quite
safely take more if necessary. A dose of up to 3 capsules per day is
recommended.
Q.
Does LESTEROL® have any side effects?
A.
Both stabilised Allicin and beta-sitosterol are normally very well
tolerated. Should you be allergic to any of the contents of LESTEROL®
then you might develop a rash – this would quickly disappear when you
stop taking the product.
Q.
Will LESTEROL® interfere with pharmaceutical medications?
A.
This is highly unlikely since these natural extracts have now been
taken individually by many thousands of people without any interactions
reported. Indeed LESTEROL® may have some synergy with existing
prescription medications.
Q.
Who can take LESTEROL®?
A.
Because LESTEROL® only contains naturally derived agents LESTEROL®
capsules provide a convenient, lactose and fat-free way to supplement a
healthy diet at any mealtime with the amounts of Beta-sitosterol and
stabilised Allicin that research indicates could be helpful in
maintaining normal cholesterol levels. Consequently, LESTEROL® is
suitable for everyone including vegetarians, people with diabetes,
those following a lactose-free or gluten-free diet, and women who are
pregnant.
