Review
Summary |
 Cholesterol Balance DG Plus™ is a dietary supplement manufactured by the company, Direct Nutrition. There is also a product by the same name that is made by the company, Bronson Vitamins. These supplements are similar in composition and function, but are two separate products. According to online advertisements, the Direct Nutrition supplement may lower cholesterol levels and promote healthy cardiovascular function.
We will take a closer look at this product to determine if the formula appears capable of living up to the supplement’s advertised claims.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
According to an online description, this supplement contains Vitamin E, DeltaGold and CoQ10. It’s not clear if there are other contained ingredients, since the formula is not clearly displayed as of review. This may frustrate and concern those who prefer to fully research a product before use to not only ensure effectiveness, but also to avoid potential allergic reactions.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
CoQ10 is a substance that is needed for basic cell function and already naturally produced by the body. Despite the fact that this ingredient is contained within many dietary supplements on the market, recent research indicates that supplementation of this ingredient may actually provide no benefits. Thus, regardless of the many advantages that manufacturers claim this ingredient will provide, it appears that it is probably rather useless in this formula.
The other popular ingredient in this product is DeltaGold, which is the patented version of Annatto Tocotrienol. This ingredient is said to be a rich source of antioxidants, and said to provide a number of health benefits. In addition, DeltaGold is widely rumored to reduce cholesterol. It is said to work by inhibiting the production of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, in the liver. However, as of review, 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 |
|
Currently, there is no product or company website for Cholesterol Balance DG Plus™. Many individuals prefer to cut out the middle man and purchase directly from the manufacturer, which does not appear possible for this supplement at this time. Without a product website, it is harder to find testimonials that this supplement may work as advertised. In fact, we are unable to find any consumer reviews online that discuss this specific supplement.
|
| Positives |
|
• Formula is basic
|
| Negatives |
|
• Fairly expensive
• No product website as of writing
• Testimonials are not currently found online
• Does not appear to contain Plant Sterols
• Complete formula is not fully disclosed at time
• Does not appear to come with a company-back money guarantee
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
In the end, we find this product contains ingredients that are widely rumored to reduce cholesterol levels and provide a number of other health benefits. Those who wish to test the effectiveness of Cholesterol Balance DG Plus™ may purchase it from various online stores. The product is rather expensive, and costs almost $60 for a one-month supply.
However, there is currently no conclusive research to support these claims, and we think individuals may not be satisfied with end results. In fact, many people may be more comfortable using an ingredient that has proven results and has been FDA-approved, and we suggest those individuals continue their product research. We believe individuals interested in such a supplement should find one that posts its own product website, which is complete with numerous consumer reviews demonstrating how the formula has worked for other people.
