Policosanol is the term for a blend of medium-chain alcohols extracted from plants. Human studies show that policosanol can effectively play a role in maintaining cholesterol levels already in the normal range. This compound appears to perform like red rice extract in the body. Cholester-Reg® is a natural formula that contains policosanol and phytosterols. It has been formulated to support normal-range cholesterol levels in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. Plant sterols compete with the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Interestingly, excess plant sterols are not absorbed by the body but are eliminated. Additionally, the nutrient resveratrol helps to maintain LDL and triglyceride levels already in the normal range.

Cholester-Reg® II features ethically sourced, non-GMO botanicals and nutrients. Period. But the story doesn’t stop there. Our artichoke leaves grow on small farms in Europe where experienced collectors hand-cut and carry them to the farmyard where they dry in the sun. This same kind of care continues throughout every step of production, enabling Nature’s Sunshine to provide you with the finest products on earth.
The story behind Cholester-Reg® II
Cholester-Reg® II was launched in 2001 as a natural formula to support normal-range cholesterol levels in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. This blend utilizes plant sterols to compete with the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Interestingly, excess plant sterols are not absorbed but eliminated.
Anciently, the Greeks and Romans ate artichokes (or their cousins, cardoons) for targeted joint support.
Resveratrol was first discovered and isolated from a flowering plant in 1939. This was after researchers noticed that animals and insects eating certain plants lived longer. It took nearly 60 years for resveratrol’s powerful health benefits to become known to the world.
Policosanol came to light decades ago when researchers in Cuba began experimenting with its effects on the circulatory system. Since then, this sugar cane isolate has been studied and found to support the healthy management of lipids in mature adults.
