Res-Q Natural Supplements offers numerous products to better cholesterol health. However, cholesterol is not a one-stop shop, as there are several ways your cholesterol levels can be impacted. Below, we will go over how cholesterol is measured and ways to improve your levels immediately!

What is LDL?
Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is made by the liver and also comes from the food you eat. Your body needs it to build healthy cells, as well as aid in the production of sex hormones, and assist in bile production in the liver.
Cholesterol won’t dissolve in blood, so proteins carry it where it needs to go. These carriers are called lipoproteins. LDL stands for low-density lipoprotein. At standard levels, LDL is helpful for the body. However, due to the nature of most American diets, it is easy to get too much LDL in the blood.
That’s why LDL cholesterol is referred to as “bad cholesterol”. Too much of it can lead to plaque buildup on the walls of your arteries. This can lead to the narrowing of your blood vessels and, possibly, blood clots. Both are serious health issues.
Res-Q LeveLDL with Niacin contains plant sterols that help decrease the cholesterol you absorb from food. Plant sterols, which are fats derived from plants, compete with cholesterol during the digestive process so your body absorbs less cholesterol. Fifty years of scientific evidence establishes that including plant sterols in the diet helps lower total cholesterol and LDL, or bad, cholesterol levels.
What is HDL?
HDL cholesterol is often referred to as "good" cholesterol and stands for High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol. Optimum HDL cholesterol levels help ensure that your body picks up excess LDL cholesterol and takes it back to your liver where it's broken down and removed from your body.
There are active lifestyle changes that can help increase HDL cholesterol. These include making sure to move more, getting appropriate exercise, quitting smoking, and improving your diet. Additionally, you can try Res-Q HDL+, which is a special form of niacin, also called vitamin B3, which contains inositol nicotinate, a unique complex shown to improve circulation and boost HDL or good cholesterol.
What are the effects of high cholesterol?
With high cholesterol, you can develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Eventually, these deposits grow, making it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries. Sometimes, those deposits can break suddenly and form a clot that causes a heart attack or stroke.
High cholesterol can cause you to develop fatty deposits in your arteries. Over time, they will grow and make it difficult for the proper amount of blood to flow through your arteries. Sometimes, these deposits can break and form a clot. Blood clots can cause a heart attack or stroke.
Additionally, there are studies implicating that high cholesterol can lead to memory loss and slowed mental function. This can either be from the effects of a stroke or by accelerating ‘the formation of beta-amyloid plaques, the sticky protein deposits that damage the brain in people with Alzheimer’s disease.
Third, if you have too much cholesterol in your bile, as we know that cholesterol is essential for the production of bile, the excess cholesterol can form into crystals and then stones in your gallbladder. These are called Gallstones and can be really painful.
There are no symptoms associated with high cholesterol. That’s what makes awareness ever so important, as you should get a blood test every so often to detect if you have it.
Mayo Clinic Study
A Mayo Clinic Study was performed to compare the lipid-lowering effects (cholesterol) of an alternate regimen (Res-Q LDL-XQ10, Res-Q 1250, and lifestyle changes) with a standard dose of 3-hydroxy-3-methlyglutaryl coenzyme (a prescription statin).
The results found that the lifestyle changes combined with the consumption of LDL-XQ10 and 1250 reduced LDL-C in proportions similar to the standard therapy of the tested prescription statin. They found that this ‘multifactorial, alternative approach to lipid lowering has promise for a subset of patients unwilling or unable to take statins.’ This can refer to people who do not want the side effects of prescription statins or are allergic to the medication.
Reviews
Richard – “I would like to share a success story! My total cholesterol went from 218 to 153. Triglycerides went from 333 to 204. The HDL cholesterol stayed the same at 40. The non-HDL went from 181 to 113. The LDL cholesterol dropped from 114 to 72! I take Res-Q 1250, LDL-x2, and LDL-XQ10.”
Dawn – “I had pretty bad cholesterol numbers. The last time I went to my doctor, I was up at 198 for my bad cholesterol and he gave me an ultimatum. You get that down or I'm gonna put you on meds. He said I had six months. So, I started taking the Res-Q LDL-XQ10 and did not change my diet. I went back and got my blood work. My numbers had dropped 95 points! My doctor was astounded! He said, 'what did you do?' I told him I take Res-Q products! He said to keep doing what I'm doing.”
Michael – “My doctor recommended that I take niacin due to low HDL numbers. While this product has helped to increase my HDL by about 50%, the no-flush aspect of this product should not be discounted. I have tried other niacin products and even though they say they are time-released, they are nothing like this one. The others left me with a head-to-toe rash with itching everywhere. I have never had that happen with this product. If you need to take niacin, this is the one for you.”
