History and Usage:

Cholesterol Shield works by combining phytosterols and pantethine, which are substances found in plants. These substances act as agents for breaking down fats and cholesterol. Phytosterols from plants are shown to be beneficial to one’s health due to their ability to reduce LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol levels in the body. Phytosterols work by inhibiting the cholesterol absorption in bile.

Taking phytosterols regularly may reduce the risk of coronary heart diseases. Pantethine, on the other hand, stabilizes cholesterol and triglycerides levels in the body by increasing the production of CoA, which aids in the metabolism of fats and cholesterol. Therefore, Cholesterol Shield maintains low LDL levels and helps to regulate the absorption of cholesterol from food and from bile.
