Patient One Cholest-Plex was formulated to be a gentle, well-tolerated formula for maintaining cholesterol levels already within a normal range. Cholest-Plex combines evidence- backed natural ingredients, including phytosterols, red yeast rice, grapeseed extract, coenzyme Q10, and more, for healthy lipid maintenance and to support overall cardiovascular wellness.

Key Ingredients 

Policosanol has been studied for its role in promoting healthy lipid metabolism, platelet function and antioxidant protection for cardiovascular health. This natural compound may also promote endothelial function and arterial flexibility. Our formula supplies policosanol from naturally occurring plant waxes purified from sugar cane.

Phytopin® Phytosterols, extracted from pine tree trunks, supply beta-sitosterol, beta-sitostanol, campesterol and other beneficial plant sterols that offer dual-action support for balanced cholesterol levels. In a process in the small intestine, phytosterols displace cholesterol from food and reduce cholesterol absorption, resulting in a beneficial effect on blood cholesterol levels. In addition, the minimal amount of phytosterols that are absorbed into the body, once taken up by the liver, are rapidly secreted into bile by hepatic transporters at a high rate, enhancing cholesterol excretion.

Grape Seed extract contains oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), flavonoid-rich compounds with potent antioxidant and cardio-supportive properties. OPCs help support capillary strength and circulatory health and help maintain already-healthy blood pressure levels. 

Red Yeast Rice is a natural product that has been used by Asian traditional herbalists for centuries and is produced by fermenting red yeast (Monascus purpureus) with rice. Numerous studies over the past four decades have demonstrated that red yeast rice (RYR) preparations are helpful in naturally maintaining blood cholesterol levels already in the normal range. The red yeast rice in our formula is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, an unwanted by-product of the RYR fermentation process.

CoQ10 provides support to all cells throughout the body and is particularly supportive of tissues that require a lot of energy, such as the heart muscle. Coenzyme Q10 is known for its free radical scavenging antioxidant protection and its cardiovascular-supportive properties.
