Loxicor: a natural help against the dangers of high levels of cholesterol

High cholesterol represents one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and is one of the indicators of the health of the circulatory system. According to statistics, at least 8 out of 10 people suffer from high cholesterol.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, delays in routine checks and the sedentary lifestyle we are subjected to, high cholesterol risks becoming an increasingly widespread problem.

What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is nothing more than fat circulating in the blood, for the main part produced by the body and only in small extent due to the diet.

When the amount of cholesterol present in the body is excessive, it can deposit on the walls of the arteries, causing atheroscleresis: a degenerative vascular disease that affects the arteries, obstructing and inflaming them.

The increase in blood cholesterol represents a real alarm bell, if neglected, it can significantly increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Cholesterol is transported in the blood through lipoproteins and is usually classified into:

- LDL the so-called "bad" cholesterol: low density lipoproteins transport excess cholesterol from the liver to the arteries and release it into the blood vessels;

- HDL the so-called "good" cholesterol: high-density lipoproteins collect excess cholesterol and carry it to the liver which is the only organ capable of eliminating excess.

What are the causes and remedies for high cholesterol?

- overweight, improper diet, smoking and the absence of physical activity, all factors that lead to an increase in cholesterol.

To try to stimulate the production of good cholesterol, surely the first remedy to adopt is to try to follow a correct and balanced diet, limiting the consumption of meat, eggs, milk and derivatives, paying attention to the use of condiments and carrying out a adequate physical activity in order to achieve greater protection.

However, nutrition alone is not enough. To try to lower cholesterol and bring it back to normal values, natural supplements based on RED RICE, MONAKOLIN K AND COENZYME Q10 such as LOXICOR, available in sachets and tablets, can be taken under the advice of the doctor.

Loxicor is a food supplement based on Phytosterols and Fermented Red Rice, ideal for fighting high cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Fermented Red Rice

Monacolin K, resulting from the fermentation of fermented red rice, is a natural substance with a statin-like action that has the function of inhibiting the synthesis of cholesterol that occurs in the liver, helping to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.

Phytosterols and Plant Stenols

Phytosterols are bioactive molecules with proven beneficial properties on cholesterol control, naturally present in foods of plant origin and especially in oils obtained from some plants. Unlike cholesterol, however, phytosterols cannot be produced by the body but only from the diet intake.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant substance normally present in almost all the cells of our body.

Its integration is strongly indicated in case of taking supplements based on substances

with statin-like action  - the use of drugs such as statins, in addition to lowering cholesterol levels, can also reduce the levels of coenzyme Q10.

Loxicor contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels and is a natural alternative to the statin, it is also gluten and lactose free.
