Triple Strength for Heart Health
Promotes Healthy Total Cholesterol Levels for those already within normal range

• LDL Cholesterol (harmful cholesterol)
• Triglycerides

These specific, triple Lactobacillus plantarum strains showed a robust capability to sur­vive under harsh gastrointestinal tract (GI) conditions, including exposures to acids and bile. In addition, these specific strains were demonstrated to adhere to intestinal epithe­lial cells. In terms of lipid metabolism, the strains showed a particular ability to produce large amounts of bile salt hydrolase. Bile salts are responsible for recirculating choles­terol systemically. By hydrolyzing the bile-salt molecule, which contains cholesterol, the re-uptake of cholesterol into the body is impacted.
