Futurebiotics Cholestatin® is a multi-nutrient formula combining the benefits of Cholestatin® plant sterols (phytosterols) and other select heart-healthy ingredients.
Cholestatin® is a well-balanced complex of naturally-occurring plant sterols, often referred to as phytosterols, derived from vegetable oil distillates. The complex of phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol and brassicasterol are present in the native ratio. Phytosterols are natural fat-like compounds whose chemical structures are very similar to cholesterol and have been shown to help support healthy cholesterol levels by decreasing cholesterol absorption in the small intestine. Phytosterols have been the subject of extensive human clinical research that has demonstrated phytosterols work by helping to reduce absorption of both dietary cholesterol and endogenous cholesterol (cholesterol manufactured by the body) by competing for absorption during intestinal uptake.
Futurebiotics Cholestatin® employs several antioxidants in order to provide a complete heart-healthy formula, including BioAstin® Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant derived from micro algae. A growing body of scientific literature demonstrates that natural Astaxanthin surpasses many of the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and other carotenoids. Research has also shown that natural Astaxanthin has up to 500 times the antioxidant activity of vitamin E and 10 times the antioxidant activity of beta-carotene.
Additional heart-healthy support is provided with PomActiv™ Pomegranate fruit extract. Pomegranates are one of the oldest fruits consumed and contain ellagitannins, powerful antioxidant polyphenolic compounds. PomActiv™ is standardized to 70% ellagic acid.
Glass packaging extends natural freshness and helps maintain product potency.
