For your cholesterol

Instructions for use

Natural food supplement suitable for adults with the following recommendations:

• Take 1 hard capsule and 1 soft capsule every day.
• Take with food, preferably with breakfast.
• Drink plenty of water with your course of live cultures.
• For best results, take daily for at least three months.
• Do not exceed recommended daily dosage.

Safe to take alongside statins or cholesterol lowering medication.

The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 2g of alpha-linolenic acid as part of a balanced diet.

Storage

Like the rest of the Optibac range, 'For your cholesterol' does not require refrigeration. Store out of direct sunlight.

Safety

Live cultures are not recommended for those with serious medical conditions e.g. those who are severely immunosuppressed, have pancreatitis, are in the ICU, have melaena, have a central venous catheter, infants with short bowel syndrome, or patients with open wounds following major surgery; unless under a doctor's care. Keep out of reach of children.

If you are taking any medications or have a serious medical condition, consult a doctor before use. Optibac supplements will not cause dependency and may be used on an ongoing basis.

Following the taxonomic updates issued by a global team of scientists and published in April 2020, which look more closely at the Lactobacillus genus, a reclassification has been advised for the L. plantarum species. The active ingredients for 'For your cholesterol' may therefore also now be referred to as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subp. plantarum CECT 7527, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subp. plantarum CECT 7528 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subp. plantarum CECT 7529.

Customer reviews

• I’ve been taking these capsules for almost 2 years. My cholesterol is borderline so I thought it would be good to try these with the combined benefit of live cultures. The last time I had a blood test my figures were slightly down so I am more than happy to continue using Optibac in conjunction with a diet that supports Optibacs benefits to my overall health and well being.

• Dear Optibac, I was so disappointed to find that the flax capsules with probiotics for cholesterol are not suitable for vegetarians and vegans. My favourite products are the Everyday but the old formula seemed to be more effective for me. I'm glad that you've removed the Titanium. It would be great to see your products in amber glass now in order to reduce plastic. Kind regards, Kim

• I have a complicated health history of high cholesterol. Please remember a few months with an unhealthy diet will not enable you. This product worked because I took it as I should take it, a healthy diet and the right kind of exercise (very gentle) and over time it worked. I worked hard and stuck with it - first noticing regular bowl movements, which is why I started taking them. Thank you OptiBac,
