Protect Your Heart Cardiovascular disease kills more women than breast cancer. The American Heart Association reports that one in three women have some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Men don't get off much easier: One in four men has some form of CVD. That's the bad news.

The good news is that it's never too late to project and rejuvenate your heart health. And one of the most effective things you can do is to lower your cholesterol. Even small changes can make a big difference in your health and longevity. Every 10 percent drop in cholesterol lowers your risk of heart attack by 25 percent.

For some people, changing their eating habits and getting more exercise is enough to help lower their cholesterol. But for some, that's just not enough. Many individuals with high cholesterol use statin drugs to help lower their cholesterol. While these drugs do help lower cholesterol, they also have side effects such as high blood sugar, gallstones, kidney failure and more.

Studies on Policosanol, a highly concentrated and standardized mixture of five natural alcohols that occur together in sugar cane wax, have shown that it regulates the production of the cholesterol enzyme to lower, healthier levels, without directly blocking it. It also strengthens arteries and promotes the body's natural cholesterol-lowering ability.

Policosanol also enhances your body's own natural ability to remove and process dangerous LDL cholesterol from the blood and cells. It does this by significantly increasing HDL cholesterol, which acts as your body's natural artery-cleansing agent. Policosanol makes your body healthier, more proactive and more able to protect you in the long run by continually cleansing and rejuvenating arteries and circulation for stronger heart health.

This natural cholesterol nutrient is available as Choletrol. Health-conscious individuals of all ages are taking it with excellent results. That includes post-menopausal women, the elderly with inherited high cholesterol, men and women with existing heart disease, those who suffer angina (chest pain), those with leg cramps, diabetics, an even those who just want to maintain healthy cholesterol levels and promote higher energy.

Statins work by inhibiting a liver enzyme called HMG CoA reductase, the enzyme that enables the liver to make cholesterol. The liver is forced to take cholesterol from your bloodstream to meet your body's daily needs for cholesterol, thereby bringing down your cholesterol levels. However, it appears that the potent enzyme-blocking action is precisely what causes serious risks.

Choletrol is available exclusively online. You can find more information and place your order at www.hfn-usa.com.
