Review
Summary |
Cholesterol Balance™ DG Plus is a product promoted and manufactured by the company, Bronson Vitamins. This supplement is advertised to reduce levels of bad cholesterol, and the company repeatedly stresses how the formula contains the patented ingredient, DeltaGold™. Currently, there are many products on the market that contain hyped ingredients said to lower cholesterol levels. Unfortunately, many of these supplements do not perform as advertised, and we find it’s best if individuals conduct product research before purchasing a supplement.
We will assist in this process by taking a closer look at this Bronson Vitamin supplement and determining what benefits it may provide a regular user.

 | Ingredients at a Glance |
|
According to the company website, this product just contains two active ingredients, DeltaGold™ and CoQ10.
We appreciate that this manufacturer attempts to make a natural formula to address the issue of cholesterol, without the inclusion of stimulants or other jolting ingredients. We feel that natural is best, but that it takes the right formula to truly find a solution or remedy.

 | Ingredients in Focus |
|
CoQ10 is also known as Lecithin. This substance is already naturally produced by the body, and said to be needed for the basic function of cells. There are many rumors surrounding CoQ10 supplementation, and many health professionals do not feel that it is beneficial. In fact, there is currently unclear scientific use for CoQ10, and many of its purported benefits are currently based on hype and not proof.
DeltaGold™ may actually be found in an assortment of products on the market. This ingredient is the patented version of Annatto Tocotrienol, which is a member of the Vitamin E family. DeltaGold ™ is said to be rich source of antioxidants, and there are many purported health benefits this ingredient is said to provide. There are even some who believe it may benefit people who are suffering from or at risk for prostate and breast cancer.
When it comes to the issue of cholesterol, DeltaGold™ is said to work by inhibiting the production of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, in the liver. However, at this time, its results have not conclusively been significant, and some people may prefer to research other options on the market. We would like to note that there are some ingredients the FDA has approved as a natural way to reduce cholesterol levels, and Plant Sterols in particular have been shown to reduce cholesterol by up to 40% in several clinical trials.

 | Website |
|
At this time, there is no product website for Cholesterol Balance™ DG Plus, but it is featured on the company site. We appreciate that the manufacturer provides a complete ingredient list and detailed product description. Though, we feel that the website would be enhanced if there were also a section for testimonials. Consumer reviews allow potential users to see how the supplement has worked for others, and provides a different viewpoint from the manufacturer who is attempting to make money. When a company does not post testimonials, we have to wonder if it’s because they have few success stories to share.
|
 | Positives |
|
• Formula contains simple ingredients
• Product is free of stimulants
• May be found at reduced prices
|
 | Negatives |
|
• Does not contain Plant Sterols
• No product website at time of review
• Currently no cited research
• Testimonials are not posted online as of writing
|
 | Final Thoughts |
|
Ultimately, Cholesterol Balance™ DG Plus contains ingredients that may be well known and rumored to provide benefits, but at this time, they are not actually shown through conclusive research to significantly reduce cholesterol levels. Many individuals may be more comfortable using an ingredient that has proven results and has been FDA-approved, and we suggest those people continue their product research.
Currently, this product is offered at a reduced price on the company website, and Bronson Vitamins allows for their supplements to be returned if people are unsatisfied. However, the website does not specify how long individuals have after ordering a product to get their money back. As an alternative, there are reliable manufacturers that offer a complete 60-day guarantee.
