Review
Summary |
 Blood Fat Cutter is promoted as a “Cholesterol Guard Capsule.” It is manufactured by a relatively less-known company, called Balanceuticals®. One thing to note about the supplement is that it is said to contain Chinese medicinal herbs; as such, the product package even declares that the formula was “made under supervision by China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.”
Notwithstanding these rather incredible claims, it remains to be seen whether Blood Fat Cutter may hold up to objective analysis. We could not even find an official and exclusive website for the manufacturer; as per some third-party websites, Balanceuticals®, in partnership with Health King Enterprise, seems to primarily import Chinese teas, and is said to have been established in 1995. Therefore, in this review we will look at the formula in some detail, and conclude whether we may do better by trusting in some better products.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
As per a retail store carrying the product, Blood Fat Cutter is said to contain some of the following ingredients: Rhubarb Root, Wolfberry, Cistanche, Chinese Hawthorn Fruit, Alisma, Lotus Leaf, Cassia Seed and an undisclosed blend of some “cholesterol herbs.” While we appreciate all-natural supplements and the herbal approach to reducing cholesterol, we are unable to verify how these ingredients may really cut down LDL levels.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
One attractive alternative may be to go with a supplement that supplies Phytosterols. These Plant Sterols may only be found in trace amounts in natural foods. Therefore, it may be a better idea to take a supplement that supplies the optimum amount of Plant Sterols. An option may be to drink lots of milk or eat lots of food containing soy or tofu. Nevertheless, if we are averse to these food items, the efficient choice surely may be taking it in a capsule form.
The question then is essentially about how much Phytosterols may be sufficient and optimum for the body to meaningfully reduce LDL levels. The market may have a number of formulas similar to the product in review; in fact, about 200-500 mg seems to be the norm. However, some recent studies seem to have shown that we may have to take significantly more of these Phytosterols to really lower the bad cholesterol count.

As mentioned above, there seems to be no exclusive website for Blood Fat Cutter at the time of this review. We could not even get hold of official information on the manufacturer or its importer. There may be many such supplements on the market without an official U.S. presence, let alone any official online presence. We usually prefer supplements that have been manufactured by a U.S. company; we find the best among them will contain certified ingredients, and will have met rigorous manufacturing standards. We feel an exclusive web portal greatly enhances trust and provides great avenues for excellent customer service.

| Final Thoughts |
|
Therefore, an individual may prefer to take a formula that supplies Phytosterols, which are, as discussed above in detail, cholesterol-like compounds found in plant products. These Plant Sterols have been exhaustively reviewed and analyzed to be valuable in lowering serum cholesterol.
In the end, those suffering from hypercholesterolemia have a choice: whether to go with prescription drugs with potential side effects, or to look for natural avenues whereby side effects are kept to a minimum. There may be formulas on the market with proven natural ingredients that not only come with 100% refund guarantees, but also offer free gifts, like magazine subscriptions. We believe the best of these formulas may be backed with numerous customer testimonials, and will probably be promoted through well-kept and properly encrypted, exclusive websites.
