Cholesterol is then transported through the bloodstream in this lipoprotein. There are three types of lipoproteins created by the liver and these include high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). The type of lipoprotein is determined by how much protein there is in relation to fat content. HDL is a complex lipoprotein with a number of functions. One of its most important function is known as reverse cholesterol transport. As cells die and are replaced, they release cholesterol into your blood. HDL binds the excess cholesterol and transfers it to other lipoproteins, such as LDL. HDL also gets rid of cholesterol in the walls of your arteries and takes it to the liver to be removed from your body through the intestines. HDL is referred to as "good" cholesterol because of its protective effect against atherosclerosis. Higher HDL concentrations correlate with lower rates of atherosclerosis and a lower risk for heart disease and stroke. LDL is the primary cholesterol transporter in your bloodstream. Your body uses cholesterol to produce protective walls around your cells and steroid hormones. After delivering cholesterol to your tissues, most of the remaining LDL is removed by your liver or taken up by scavenger …show more content…

Get Good Quality Sleep. Sleep is essential for healing your body, maintaining balanced blood sugar, and your overall health. Use Supplements to Support Healthy Cholesterol Particle Size. These include: A multivitamin including at least 500 mcg of chromium, 2 mg of biotin and 400 mg of lipoic acid. 1000 mg of omega-3 fats (EPA/DHA) twice a day.2000 IU of vitamin D3 a day at maximum. 1200 mg of red rice yeast twice a day.
2-4 capsules of glucomannan 15 minutes before meals with a glass of water. Broad-range, balanced concentration of plant sterols. You will usually take one capsule with each meal.
Consider Using High Dose Niacin or Vitamin B3. It is useful to help raise HDL cholesterol, lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and increase particle
