Whatever your inspiration, the benefits of a healthy heart are worth the effort. Not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, exercising regularly and taking the right supplements can all contribute to promoting cardiovascular health.* Equally, uncontrollable elements like fresh clean air may also support a healthy heart.   

Heart Health^™ Advanced LipiTrim^® Ultra is a powerful antioxidant that contains 500 mg of Capros (Indian gooseberry; Phyllanthus emblica), an ingredient that has been used in Aruyvedic health practices for centuries, as well as the benefits of 250 mg of Prickly Pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) to help maintain normal cholesterol levels.  Prickly Pear is also a source of antioxidants.* The powerful formula also contains a 50% hesperidin from citrus aurantium. A high concentration of hesperidin, like that in the Heart Health Advanced LipiTrim formula, is a polymethoxylated flavone that supports cardiovascular well-being.

This unique combination of ingredients helps promote a normal rate of cholesterol production. It also helps maintain healthy levels of triglycerides and promotes the normal synthesis of triglycerides in the liver.* Synthesis of cholesterol in the liver and other cells in the body is responsible for about 70 percent of our total cholesterol, with the other 30 percent from food. Maintaining healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels is important to the overall health of the cardiovascular system.*

Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like, waxy substance found in the bloodstream and in all the body's cells. It is an important part of a healthy body, because it is used for producing cell membranes and hormones in addition to other necessary bodily functions. Cholesterol cannot dissolve in the blood, however. It must be transported to and from the cells by carriers called lipoproteins, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is known as “bad” cholesterol, while HDL is known as “good” cholesterol.

Maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol is essential to supporting your heart health.*

1. Why is LDL cholesterol considered bad?
   When too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly contribute to the build up of plaque in the inner walls of the arteries.
   
   
2. Why is HDL cholesterol considered good?
   Up to one-fourth of blood cholesterol is carried by high-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL cholesterol is known as the good cholesterol because a high level of it seems to protect the cardiovascular system. Medical experts think that HDL tends to carry cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it's passed from the body. Some experts believe that HDL removes excess cholesterol from plaque in arteries, thus slowing the buildup.
   
   
3. What are triglycerides and how are they related to HDL and LDL?
   A triglyceride is a form of fat. It comes from food and is also made in your body. People with high triglyceride levels often have high overall cholesterol, which is high LDL and low HDL cholesterol levels.
