Characteristics: Normolip5 Strong is a dietary supplement specially developed to control Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels and blood sugar levels.
Berberine - the active ingredient of the plant Berberis aristata, has been shown to reduce total cholesterol levels, act on LDL cholesterol, and blood triglycerides. It activates the Adenosine Monophosphate (AMPK) enzyme, inhibiting cholesterol synthesis, triglycerides, and stimulating fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscles.
Berberine also acts on lipid metabolism by inhibiting adipose tissue production (adipogenesis) where lipids accumulate (adipocytes), reducing the size and number of fat cells.
Studies also indicate that Berberine not only increases insulin sensitivity but also interacts directly with the pancreas, increasing insulin secretion by pancreatic β cells.
Berberine has been compared and used as a natural alternative to metformin - an antidiabetic medication prescribed for Type II Diabetes that helps increase insulin receptor sensitivity and limit glucose production by the Liver (neoglucogenesis).
Milk Thistle - among other active principles, contains silymarin, which gives this plant a hepatoprotective action by acting directly on the liver parenchyma in case of intoxications.
It is indicated for supportive treatment in inflammatory liver diseases, liver cirrhosis, and as a hepatoprotector to neutralize the effects of hepatotoxic substances. Silymarin is thus a unique antioxidant complex that acts by preventing damage to healthy liver cells and, simultaneously by stimulating the regeneration of those already affected cells. This action is important for maintaining a healthy liver, allowing proper blood cleansing and the normal production and endogenous regulation of cholesterol and its correct use in the normal metabolism of other endogenous components.
Red Yeast Rice - contains a variety of substances called monacolins. However, only Monacolin K has the ability to inhibit HMG-reductase, the enzyme responsible for cholesterol production in the liver, thus beneficially reducing total cholesterol and LDL ("bad cholesterol") as well as triglycerides. In this way, it has a similar action to chemical statins, being an effective alternative in controlling dyslipidemias, especially in people who have intolerance to taking drugs based on chemical statins (e.g., myalgias, muscle weakness).
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) - is a molecule that exists in our body and plays a fundamental role in the antioxidant protection of cells. It is found in all cells of the body, but mainly in those that require a higher supply of energy, such as muscle cells, especially the heart and skeletal muscle. CoQ10 is produced by the same cholesterol synthesis pathway, which means that inhibiting the HMG-reductase enzyme not only blocks cholesterol production but also CoQ10 synthesis, which can cause muscle pain, myopathies, cognitive dysfunction, and chronic inflammation. Therefore, the presence of CoQ10 in this dietary supplement helps meet its needs in the body and prevent the onset of pain caused by the presence of the plant statin that is Monacolin K.
Policosanol - is a product obtained from rice extract that decreases hepatic biosynthesis of cholesterol, reduces the risk of thrombosis, and improves blood circulation to the brain.
Folic Acid - belongs to the group of B-complex vitamins. It controls, among other functions, the metabolism of homocysteine, which is a natural amino acid that normally rapidly converts into another amino acid without any harm to our health. In cases of lack of folic acid in the body, homocysteine is not converted
