Scene 1 (0s)
Cholesterol-Lowering Natural Ingredients and Fruits.
Scene 2 (8s)
Cholesterol Synthesis Inhibition. • Red Yeast Rice: Contains monacolin K, a natural statin-like compound • Garlic: Inhibits hepatic cholesterol synthesis • Berberine: Activates AMPK to suppress cholesterol synthesis • Policosanol: Inhibits cholesterol production in the liver.
Scene 3 (21s)
Cholesterol Absorption Inhibition. • Plant Sterols/Stanols: Compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption • Fenugreek: Contains steroidal saponins that reduce absorption • Soy Protein: Modestly reduces LDL by interfering with absorption • Apples: High in pectin (soluble fiber) that binds and eliminates LDL • Citrus Fruits: Rich in pectin, reduce LDL cholesterol through digestive binding.
Scene 4 (37s)
Bile Acid Binding / Excretion. • Soluble Fiber (oats, psyllium): Binds bile acids in the gut, increasing their elimination • Artichoke Leaf Extract: Stimulates bile production and flow • Guggul: Enhances bile acid excretion.
Scene 5 (50s)
Lipid Profile Modulation. • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Reduce triglyceride synthesis and may increase HDL • Niacin (Vitamin B3): Increases HDL and lowers LDL at high doses • Flaxseed: Omega-3 and fiber reduce LDL • Avocados: High in monounsaturated fats, lowers LDL and raises HDL • Berries: Antioxidants and fiber improve lipid profile.
Scene 6 (1m 7s)
Antioxidant / Anti-inflammatory. • Turmeric (Curcumin): Anti-inflammatory; reduces cholesterol accumulation • Green Tea Extract: Antioxidant, improves lipid metabolism • Grapes: Polyphenols may reduce LDL and improve vascular health • Rosemary: Contains antioxidants that protect LDL from oxidation.
Scene 7 (1m 20s)
Other Noteworthy Ingredients. • Pectin (from Apples/Citrus): Soluble fiber binds cholesterol and promotes its elimination • Pecans: Healthy fats contribute to lower LDL and raise HDL.
