Review
Summary |
Cholesterol Vital Maintenance is a dietary supplement advertised to maintain cholesterols levels in a healthy range, and support the function of the liver. This product is manufactured and promoted by the company, Gaia Herbs, and said to contain basic ingredients. According to the company website, the formula contains high-quality ingredients from organic farms.
There are many options on the market when it comes to natural cholesterol products. In fact, the sheer amount of products may make choosing a supplement a bit overwhelming. We suggest researching a product before making a purchase to ensure quality, and we will assist in this process by taking a closer look at the contained ingredients within Cholesterol Vital Maintenance.

 | Ingredients at a Glance |
|
According to the company website, this supplement contains some of the following ingredients: Pantethine, Artichoke Leaf, Coleus Forskholii Root, Guggul Resin, Arjuna Bark, Wild Yam and several filler ingredients that are also listed on the company website for consumer review.
The manufacturer notes that adopting a lifestyle with regular exercise and a diet high in unprocessed foods will enhance the function of this product and may maximize results.

 | Ingredients in Focus |
|
Overall, this formula contains basic ingredients that are also said to be entirely organic. Many of the herbs and extracts offer a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals which are capable of benefitting overall health. However, at this time none of these ingredients have been conclusively proven to reduce cholesterol levels to a significant degree, and individuals who desire bigger results may prefer to research other options.
We wish to note that there are ingredients on the market that have been proven to reduce cholesterol levels by up to 40%, such as Plant Sterols. This ingredient has been approved by the FDA to address the issue of high cholesterol, and actually works by fooling the digestive system into thinking it is cholesterol. That means that the body will absorb the Plant Sterols while flushing the real cholesterol out of the body’s system. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this product contains Plant Sterols at the time of this review.

 | Website |
|
There is no Cholesterol Vital Maintenance product website, but the supplement is listed on the company site, along with several online stores. The product description on the company site is rather vague, but the complete ingredient list is fully disclosed. However, we are disappointed that there are no consumer reviews displayed from past users of this supplement.
Furthermore, as of review, the company website does not have a check-out function, so interested individuals are forced to always purchase the product from a third-party retailer, which may sometimes drive up costs.

 | Positives |
|
• Product contains basic formula
• Ingredients are said to be organic
• May be found at reduced prices
|
 | Negatives |
|
• Company website does not currently have a check-out function
• Formula does not contain Plant Sterols
• Does not appear to come with a company-backed money guarantee
• No product website at time
• Testimonials are not currently displayed online
|
 | Final Thoughts |
|
Ultimately, Cholesterol Vital Maintenance contains a simple formula, but it lacks the proven ingredients we find are necessary to adequately address the issue of high cholesterol. However, those who wish to test the effectiveness of this supplement may visit the company website to see which retailers now offer it for sale. There are several online stores that are offering the product at a reduced price, and it is now possible to purchase a one-month supply for as little as $21.95.
As mentioned above, we feel a supplement that contains Plant Sterols may be far more effective. One that comes with an unconditional money-back guarantee may be a better alternative.
