HDL Good Cholesterol Drinks

[hemasri]

There are many HDL good cholesterol drinks on the market these days, Clean Eating For Your Health Review  along with a variety of other HDL products such as margarine type spreads and even chews and bars. So is it possible for these products to actually reduce your cholesterol levels and are they the right thing for you personally?

Competition is fierce in this arena with a multitude of product ranges such as the Benecol and Promise (known as Flora outside the USA) lines, which go head to head for a slice of this huge and growing market. The generally accepted cholesterol level deemed to be "high" is 240mg/dL and studies in the last ten years have indicated that more than 36 million US citizens actually exceed this level. So it's no surprise then to see huge multi-national companies investing large sums in producing products to help in eradicating or reducing the problem.

The common denominator for all of these types of product is that they contain concentrated levels of substances called plant stanol esters, which work by blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the digestive tract. These substances, which are naturally present, but at much lower levels, in most fruits and vegetables, have been clinically proven to reduce LDL bad cholesterol by as much as ten or twelve percent. There are however limits to the amount of plant stanol esters you can consume before the extra benefits cease to be realized. The daily recommended intake is generally agreed to be two to three grams, and this does need to be maintained over a period of several weeks before the full reductions in cholesterol levels are achieved.
