What are Arterin Cholesterol tablets used for?
Arterin Cholesterol tablets are an effective, well-tolerated solution for reducing andensuring optimal cholesterol control. Its formula has been clinically proven effective in monitoring cholesterol levels. Arterin Cholesterol tablets contain natural extracts of bergamot and artichoke, as well as quality-controlled and standardized plant sterols.
These have been proven to reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease. Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation for normal blood vessel function, and helps protect cells against oxidative stress.
Once ingested, plant phytosterols mix with cholesterol ingested via food in the intestine, taking its place and carrying more of it into the stool. Cholesterol is thus less absorbed by the digestive system and less transferred into the bloodstream. Numerous studies have demonstrated the cholesterol-lowering effect of foods enriched with phytosterols. This is why the European Food Safety Authority (Efsa) has approved their use, to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Since lowering bad cholesterol levels is linked to a reduction in cardiovascular disease, it is assumed that consumption of phytosterols is beneficial to hypercholesterolemic individuals. However, their use has not been tested in trials evaluating the degree of atherosclerosis or clinical events.
Excess cholesterol is detrimental to health, and can lead in the long term to myocardial infarction, stroke or arteritis of the lower limbs. In France, cholesterol is the cause of one in two heart attacks, and almost 20% of the adult population has hypercholesterolemia. Hence the importance of regularly monitoring cholesterol levels by means of a lipid profile.

Our advice and expert opinions
Cholesterol is a member of the lipid or fat family, more commonly known as "fats". This fatty substance circulates in the blood. Cholesterol is essential for the body to function properly. Around 70% of cholesterol is manufactured by the body. The rest comes from the diet. Cholesterol is found in animal products (meat, deli meats, dairy products, offal, etc.) as well as in eggs, fish and shellfish. It is largely synthesized by the liver. Cholesterol regulation depends on genetic factors and our eating habits.
Do low-fat diets reduce cholesterol?
Fats play an essential role in a healthy, balanced diet. Limiting fat intake does not lower cholesterol. Rather, it's important to know the difference between "good" and "bad" fats: it has been shown that replacing fats rich in saturated fatty acids with fats rich in unsaturated fatty acids in the diet can help reduce cholesterol levels.
