LDL (Bad) Cholesterol causes a buildup of a waxy substance in your artery walls. This restricts blood flow and can cause heart attack or stroke. The higher your LDL (Bad) Cholesterol number, the greater your chances for heart disease.

RISK FACTORS BESIDES HIGH LDLs THAT PUT YOU AT RISK OF A HEART ATTACK Keep in mind that certain risk factors add to the dangers of LDL (Bad) Cholesterol and put you at a greater risk for a heart attack or stroke. CholestinEX's proven ingredients have shown 14% reduction in LDLs and also a significant block of cholesterol absorption in the small intestines.

If you're like many people, fighting high cholesterol hasn't been easy. You've made efforts to get more exercise. You're more careful about what you eat. You may also be taking a daily medication to help reduce the cholesterol your body produces. And yet, over 60% of people treating high cholesterol with diet, exercise, and medication still have not lowered their cholesterol enough. While these efforts can be tough, you know the higher your cholesterol numbers are, the higher your risk of heart disease. "At risk" cholesterol numbers are considered to be anything above 200 mg/dL for total serum cholesterol with the caveat that the dangerous LDL cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) number be less than 100 mg/dL. HDL cholesterol (high density lipoprotein), the aptly named "good" cholesterol, can be increased using specific nutrient supplements and by limiting total serum cholesterol intake. If your HDL is less than 35 mg/dL, your physician will try to help you increase it, while lowering LDL cholesterol.

Here's a fact for you to consider! A person with a total serum cholesterol number of 260 mg/dL increases his or her chance of a heart attack by 500% (Annals of Internal Medicine (United States), 1979).
