Review
Summary |
 Cholestapro is promoted as a holistic cholesterol-lowering product created by Central Coast Nutraceuticals Inc., a company which has a history of creating weight loss and male sexuality boosting products. It may be hard to make the jump between these areas of holistic health, because products geared toward lowering cholesterol employ different concepts and technology.
Nevertheless, Cholestapro is designed to be used along with a healthy diet and exercise program, to lower total and LDL cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease. Let’s take a look at Cholestapro to see if it may actually play a role in lowering cholesterol.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
Cholestapro contains Plant Sterols, which have been found to be able to vie with “bad” dietary cholesterol for absorption by the intestines, which results in lower blood cholesterol levels. Interestingly, Plant Sterols have also been found to have some potentiality as an anti-cancer agent.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
As noted above, Plant Sterols may inhibit the intestinal absorption of cholesterol, which means we get less of the “bad” cholesterol we eat during the day. These products are usually designed to be taken around meal time, because the more that is present in the intestines after eating, the less cholesterol will be absorbed.
What is really fascinating about Plant Sterols is that they are not really absorbed by the body; they are merely flushed through the body, and then they are released. However, the overall effect of this process is that “bad” cholesterol may be significantly reduced. Depending upon the quality and quality of Plant Sterols used, the typical LDL (bad) cholesterol reduction is between 10-25%, but if a high level of Plant Sterol is used, it may be as much as 40%.
The fact is, Plant Sterols are found in a wide variety of raw and refined vegetables, including vegetable oils. In general, most Americans only eat 0.25 g of Plant Sterols per day, which is not enough to generate the kinds of cholesterol-lowering results many of us need. Our research finds supplementation that includes Plant Sterols is a very practical and effective way to elevate our intake, lower cholesterol and lower our risk of heart disease.

This website advertises that two servings of Cholestapro per day will deliver users 800 mg of Plant Sterols, which may be a good start at lowering saturated fat and reducing the risk of heart disease. However, our findings show that it is probably much more effective to use products that deliver users 1,200 mg a day of Plant Sterols. This higher dose has been shown to produce the 40% reduction in cholesterol that we mentioned above.
While this element enables people to eat some of the cholesterol-rich foods they love, and still lower their cholesterol levels, it is also important for them to keep an eye on their fat intake, diet and to exercise regularity.

| Final Thoughts |
|
We feel the fact that Cholestapro contains Plant Sterols is great, and it means that it more than likely may lower a person’s daily intake of “bad” cholesterol, and increase their levels of “good” cholesterol. However, as we mentioned earlier, our findings show that products that deliver 1,200 mg a day of Plant Sterols are far more effective - often generating a 40% decrease in cholesterol levels, according to some recent clinical studies.
Cholestapro may be ordered online through this retailer, which is a great way to save money by cutting out the middle man, but it also bears mentioning that it may be hard to return these products once you buy them. For this reason, we believe it is very important to use a reputable retailer or developer, who clearly states their return policy and provides a comprehensive, trouble-free money-back guarantee.
