Dr. Rath’s Cellular Health recommendations for reducing elevated levels of cholesterol are based on his development of a carefully balanced selection of specific nutrients. When consumed regularly in the recommended amounts, studies show that these nutrients can lower levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoproteins, homocysteine, and other substances contributing to the risk of cardiovascular disease.
It should be noted however that cholesterol and other fat molecules are only secondary risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The primary cause of this disease is an insufficient supply of vitamin C, lysine, and other collagen-promoting nutrients.
The chart below shows the amount of each nutrient to be consumed daily for reducing levels of cholesterol and other cardiovascular disease risk factors. This program is designed to be followed alongside Dr. Rath’s Basic Cellular Health Recommendations.
