Supports healthy cholesterol and bloodpressure levelsThis unique product was designed by Dr. Fuhrman specically to meet theneeds of his patients who desire effective cholesterol lowering without toxicdrugs and the well-known risks and side effects that go along with them.Statin drugs, which block a key step in the bodys production of cholesterol,are associated with liver dysfunction, acute renal failure, impaired musclefunction, and cataracts. 1

For those who still have LDL cholesterol above 100 mg/dl after dietaryintervention, Dr. Fuhrman designed this mixture of high-quality, cholesterol-lowering and cardiac-protective compounds: plant sterols plus pomegranate,chokeberry, and green tea extracts. No other product on the market offersthis combination of quality ingredients. LDL Protect is an all-natural formulathat is effective and safe.

Plant sterols have long been recognizedand are FDA approvedfor their

capacity to reduce LDL cholesterol. The potent antioxidant compoundscontained in both pomegranate and green tea have been shown in medicalstudies to reverse atherosclerosis and lower cholesterol and blood pressure.All pomegranate extracts are not equal. Some cheaper grades are notcertied to contain high levels of active polyphenols; Dr. Fuhrman utilizesthe best. Chokeberry fruit has been found to benet blood vessel health, andreduce cholesterol, blood pressure and triglycerides.

Plant SterolsPlant Sterols (also known as phytosterols) naturally occur in a range ofplant sources such as nuts, grains, and seeds. They function as cholesterol-lowering agents in blood by blocking the absorption of cholesterol fromfood during digestion and by blocking the re-absorption of cholesterolmanufactured by the liver. In addition to their cholesterol-lowering properties,plant sterols possess anticancer, anti-inammatory, anti-atherogenic, andanti-oxidative activities. 1

Accumulating scientic evidence suggests that plant sterols deliver benecialeffects in the development of different types of cancer. Experimental studiespoint to plant sterols playing a protective role in the development of sometypes of cancer such as breast, colon and prostate, 2-5 and indicate that

phytosterols in the diet offer a potentially protective benet in lung cancer,stomach cancer, and esophageal cancer.

Additionally, dietary plant sterols are reported to play a protective therapeuticrole in benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH or enlarged prostate), a commonmedical condition in older men. 6 Clinical symptoms of BPH have been shownto be improved by dietary supplementation. Studies show supplementationwas associated with signicant improvements in prostatic function comparedto placebo. 7

PomegranatePomegranate juice is a rich source of phytochemical compounds shown tobenet the heart and blood vessels. It not only lowers cholesterol, but lowersblood pressure and increases the speed at which heart blockages(atherosclerosis) melt away. LDL Protect contains a pomegranate extract thatincludes the full array of polyphenols present in the fruits seeds, husk and

juice, and is particularly rich in punicalagins, the major component responsiblefor the pomegranates antioxidant and health benets. These compoundsoffer protection against heart disease and cancer. They have been shown toreduce platelet aggregation and naturally lower blood pressure, factors thatprevent both heart attacks and strokes. 8-9

Dr. Fuhrman explains: Cholesterol-lowering drugs are known to have serious sideeffects; but sometimes, even with an excellent diet, I have noticed that some individualsneed additional help to achieve favorable LDL cholesterol levels. To create LDL Protect ,I scoured the medical research to nd the safest and most effective natural cholesterol-lowering agents. I started with plant sterols which block cholesterol absorption andreabsorption and have been used for many years to safely lower cholesterol levels. ThenI added antioxidant-rich pomegranate, chokeberry, and green teaextracts, all of which have further cardioprotective effects in additionto cholesterol-lowering. Pomegranate also reduces blood pressure andhas been shown to reverse atherosclerosic plaque in a human study.Chokeberry reduces triglycerides and helps the cells lining the vesselsto properly regulate blood pressure. Green tea extract reduces oxidativestress and indicators of inammation, and has been shown to inhibitearly events in atherosclerotic plaque formation. By combining thesenatural compounds, I have constructed a comprehensive and uniqueheart health supplement.
