If you want to be healthy, experts advise you to watch your intake of cholesterol. Golden Pride/Rawleigh's FORMULA #7, Bee-Ill (FORMULA #7 in Canada) may help. It is a three-way, natural approach to complement your cholesterol and tat reduction program. Normally, the term `cholesterol" refers to the total amount of lipids or fatty molecules in the blood. This amount is usually measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). While most experts believe 200 mg/dl to be "safe", that figure continues to be questioned.
Cholesterol can be broken down into two lipoprotein components "bad" and "good". Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) carry cholesterol throughout the circulatory system, depositing it on arterial walls LDL is the "bad guy".
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) actually pull cholesterol away from arterial walls. HDL is obviously the "good guy". The higher your HDL levels are, the better. The ratio of HDL to LDL is extremely important. The ideal ratio of total cholesterol to HDL should be between 4.5 and 3.5.
Most people seek natural ways to reduce their cholesterol levels. Certainly the first step is a well balanced diet low in saturated fat, sugar and salt and high in starch and fiber. As a supplement to such a diet, FORMULA #7 may help.
One natural way to reduce cholesterol is with fish oils (marine lipids) or "Omega III" fatty acids, which contain EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and OHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Unfortunately, many fish oil supplements on the market do not contain the EPA and OHA levels they claim- Further, a study in the Winter 1988, "Consumer's Media Journal" stated that the body cannot metabolize these oil products.
FORMULA #7 is truly unique in that the oil is removed from the marine lipids. The marine lipids Golden Pride/Rawleigh uses are extracted from Atlantic deep-water fish, a rich source of these critical ingredients.
Researchers have observed several interesting attributes
of these rare ingredients.
Niacin is another time tested cholesterol fighter; first documented in 1955 as a method of reducing cholesterol with excellent results. Dozens of research studies and reports confirm that niacin effectively lowers total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL levels while, at the same time, raising the HDL. Niacin in this form is available in Canada only.
FORMULA #7 contains a special flush-free form of niacin called Inositol Hexaniacinate (IHN), which is highly effective. Research shows that IHN is successful in lowering serum cholesterol and triglycerides with little or none of the skin flush and itching which can accompany conventional niacin. IHN is available in the U.S.A only.
Carrot fiber is the third main ingredient in cholesterol-reducing FORMULA #7. Carrot fiber can bind with bile acids (cholesterol) in the digestive tract and remove them from the body. The body must then draw upon its own pool of cholesterol, resulting in a reduction of total cholesterol. Carrot fiber is beneficial because it stores water, making it an effective, gentle bulking agent. It is also a type of calcium pectate, a significant source of calcium.
Dried marine lipids, niacin or IHN and carrot fiber, the main ingredients in FORMULA #7, have been proved effective in lowering overall cholesterol and reaching an optimal ratio of HDL to LDL. Only FORMULA #7 combines these ingredients in convenient caplets which may be taken three times a day with meals. Make FORMULA #7, BEE III a part of your cholesterol and fat reduction program ... and stay healthy.
