Lactobact LDL-Control - Probiotic for elevated cholesterol and blood lipids. Lowers cholesterol and provides natural support for the cardiovascular system, for lipid metabolism disorders, and as an adjunct to statin therapy. Lactobact LDL-CONTROL is a specific, pharmacy-quality probiotic used to treat elevated cholesterol and high blood lipid levels, as well as to provide natural support for the cardiovascular system, address lipid metabolism disorders, and as an adjunct to statin therapy. Lactobact LDL-CONTROL is a food for special medical purposes and, when taken regularly, can gently and naturally lower blood cholesterol levels. The biologically active bacterial strain Lactobacillus plantarum LP LDL® it contains regulates the bodys cholesterol cycle. Healthy cholesterol levels support the cardiovascular system and reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases. Persistently elevated cholesterol levels can significantly impact health, particularly the cardiovascular system. Potential consequences include high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), heart attack, stroke, and circulatory disorders. Clinical studies have shown that in acquired or secondary lipid metabolism disorders, regular intake of Lactobact LDL-CONTROL for at least three months effectively lowers total cholesterol levels by up to 36.7%. Furthermore, bad LDL cholesterol was reduced by 13.1%, and triglycerides were lowered by 32.9%. In addition, the good HDL cholesterol levels of the test subjects increased. In summary, all key factors influencing the cardiovascular system were positively affected by the probiotic, and no adverse side effects were observed during the entire study. Simply put, the bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum LP LDL® binds bile acids, which are then excreted by the body. Because the body then has to produce new bile acids, it uses cholesterol from the blood for this purpose, thus improving blood lipid levels. Studies have also shown that the active ingredients of medications are not affected by these beneficial bacteria. Therapists recommend this product as a probiotic and side-effect-free alternative for naturally lowering LDL cholesterol levels in cases of mildly to moderately elevated blood lipid levels, as well as for supporting blood circulation, addressing lipid metabolism imbalances, and when taking statins. Lactobact LDL-CONTROL can also be used to regulate cholesterol levels in individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, and hypothyroidism. Just one enteric-coated capsule daily naturally lowers cholesterol levels in adolescents and adults. Each daily dose contains 4 billion live lactic acid bacteria from the scientifically selected, biologically active, and patented Lactobacillus plantarum LP LDL® strain in a concentration recommended by therapists. The special DRcaps® protect the beneficial bacteria from stomach acid, thus promoting their survival and reproduction. This specific probiotic is very well tolerated, a quality product from Germany, and suitable for adolescents and adults aged 8 and over. For best results, it is recommended to take it for at least 3-6 months. The product is also suitable for continuous use and can be used as part of long-term therapy. Always use the product according to the package insert or as directed by a doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional. If you have any questions, consult a healthcare professional. Not suitable for individuals without a gallbladder. High cholesterol levels often result from a combination of factors. One of the main causes is an unhealthy diet – especially an excessive intake of saturated fats, such as those found in sausages, cheese, pastries, and processed foods. Lack of exercise also contributes, as physical activity increases the level of good HDL cholesterol while simultaneously lowering bad LDL cholesterol. Excess weight, particularly around the abdomen, further negatively impacts fat metabolism and can lead to elevated blood lipid levels. Metabolism also slows down with age, and hormonal changes – such as those occurring during menopause – can also affect cholesterol levels. Other risk factors include smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as these can disrupt the balance between good and bad cholesterol. Finally, certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or hypothyroidism, as well as some medications, can negatively affect cholesterol levels. Therefore, high cholesterol is usually not a matter of chance – regular blood tests and a conscious lifestyle are crucial for maintaining long-term health. Certain probiotics can help to positively influence cholesterol levels, but only in combination with an adapted lifestyle. High LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels can cause deposits in the arteries, which can lead to narrowing and an increased risk of heart attacks, heart failure, circulatory disorders, high blood pressure, kidney damage, or strokes. Early signs of narrowing of the blood vessels include chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, visual disturbances, altered mental status, or leg pain. The probiotic bacterial strain Lactobacillus plantarum LP LDL® contained in this product intervenes in the bodys natural cholesterol cycle. Cholesterol is the most important building block for the formation of bile acids. These are produced in the liver and released into the small intestine via the gallbladder, where they aid in the digestion of dietary fats. Further along the small intestine, the bile acids are reabsorbed into the bodys own circulation and transported back to the liver. The probiotic bacterial strain Lactobacillus plantarum LP LDL® reduces this reabsorption of bile acids. As a result, the liver extracts cholesterol from the blood to produce new bile acids, and the cholesterol level in the blood decreases. Therefore, with daily use, Lactobact LDL-CONTROL can naturally and gently lower elevated cholesterol levels. The enteric-coated capsules protect the probiotic bacteria, allowing them to effectively perform their function in the intestines.
