Protective ingredients like DHA, plant sterols and time-release niacin help maintain healthy lipid levels.
Higher DHA. New reserach on the use of omega-3 fatty acids found that DHA provides greater benefit than EPA in lipid management. Hence, Enhanced Triplichol includes Ortho Molecular’s Orthomega Select DHA, with over 1000 mg daily of DHA omega-3 fish oil specifically supporting healthy lipid levels.
Sterol/Fish Oil Synergy. Researchers have demonstrated that plant sterols and omega-3 fish oil have a synergistic physiologic effect on lipid levels. Triplichol has therapeutic levels of both.
Divided Plant Sterols. Research has shown that plant sterols in divided dosages have a more significant effect on lipid management than single doses. Foods with at least 0.65 g per serving of plant sterol esters, taken twice daily with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 g, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Triplichol provides
1.3 g of plant sterol esters daily.
Time-Release Niacin. Niacin is considered a first-line approach by nearly every panel for maintaining healthy blood lipid levels. Our wax- coated technology permits a virtually ideal niacin release that is complete in 6-8 hours, reducing the common flushing effect and allowing more people to realize the benefits of niacin.
Flavonoids like quercetin and grape seed help maintain the health and vitality of small blood vessels.
Quercetin promotes vascular cell function and helps decrease plasma concentrations of oxidized LDL.
Grape Seed Extract has been linked to the heart-healthy components in red wine. Grape seed polyphenols have been widely studied for their cardioprotective properties.
Antioxidants help inhibit oxidation and defend against lipid aggregation.
Resveratrol. Shown to inhibit lipid oxidation and protect against uptake of oxidized LDL in the vascular wall, resveratrol is widely recommended for cardiovascular support.
Green Tea has been found to have strong antioxidant properties and direct scavenging activities against nitric oxide and superoxide. The catechins in green tea have shown to inhibit oxidation and have historically been used to promote overall health.
