---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let’s Examine the Ingredients:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Citrus Bergamot – 1,500 mg.
Citrus Bergamot is a citrus fruit that is commonly used to help support reduced cholesterol levels, lower blood sugar levels, and for its potential anti-inflammatory benefits.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spirulina – 1,000 mg.
Spirulina is a popular ingredient that is loaded with antioxidants and other nutrients and has been shown to support the lowering of total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol, while also supporting an increase in heart healthy HDL cholesterol.

One study on people with high cholesterol determined that 1 gram (1,000 mg.) of spirulina per day lowered triglycerides by 16.3% and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels by 10.1%.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pantethine (Pantesin®) – 600 mg.
Pantethine is related to vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and is commonly used to help support healthy cholesterol, triglyceride, and lipid levels.

Pantesin® is a high quality pharmaceutical grade form of Pantethine, an active form of Vitamin B5. Pantethine forms the reactive component of Coenzyme A (CoA) and the acyl-carrier protein (ACP). CoA and ACP are extensively involved in lipid metabolism. In addition to possessing the metabolic activity of pantothenic acid, Pantethine helps to support healthy serum lipid levels.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bilberry – 100 mg.
Bilberry is a polyphenol rich ingredient that is so commonly associated with eye health support benefits that many people don’t realize that it has been studied for a variety of other potential benefits, including supporting cardiovascular health and healthy cholesterol levels.

Bilberry may support healthy blood pressure levels, a reduction in LDL (bad) cholesterol, an increase in HDL (good) cholesterol, and a decrease in total cholesterol levels.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resveratrol – 100 mg.
Resveratrol is a popular antioxidant with a wide range of cardiovascular support benefits and may support reductions in LDL (bad) cholesterol and total cholesterol.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bioperine® – 10 mg.
Bioperine® is a standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (Black Pepper) containing 95% piperine. Piperine has been shown to enhance the oral bioavailability of many supplements.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stacking & Synergy:
SNS Cholesterol Support XT can be used with SNS Blood Pressure Support XT, Cardiovascular Support XT, Kidney Assist XT, Lean GLP, Joint Support XT, Elite Curcumin, Lean Edge, or a variety of other SNS products to help you reach your individual goals.

My wife has genetic high cholesterol, and back in the day iForce Heart Help shocked her docs, they couldn't believe how well it worked. My post from 2019:

My wife was diagnosed with unfavorable cholesterol level last year. It's hereditary. Not awful, but the dr wanted her to take a high fish oil dose. She was already taking fish oil daily, so I turned to iForce, seeing as Heart Help was fairly new and promising. My wife took 2 bottles; one Sept, one Oct, then got tested 3 weeks after cessation of supplementation (unfortunately). The numbers:

Sept 12 - HDL 71 LDL 139

Dec 12 - HDL 101 LDL 73

The dr was very pleased. My wife is now waiting til her next blood test to see what the numbers return to, before ordering more (though she did take a third bottle after the test in Dec).



Cholesterol Support XT has the bergamot, plus a LOT more added, excellent ingredients, so I expect very good things!
 
Looks solid. Bergamot is a great ingredient for the heart. Happy to see it.

Why the low dose of resveratrol? With supposedly terrible bioavailability, it seems strange to me. I'm.sure you have valid reasons.

What's your opinion on policosanol? I always thought that was supposed to be a pretty solid cholesterol support ingredient.

This is a great example of honesty and transparent labeling being criticized in the supplement industry - not saying you meant to be critical, I'm saying that sometimes people are so used to seeing so many brands do things the not so ethical/honest way that that becomes the norm, which is sad.

Why the low dose of resveratrol?
  • 100 mg. of actual Resveratrol is not a low dose.
  • We label by actual Resveratrol content (103 mg. of a 98% = 100 mg. active).
  • I suppose we could have done what a lot of companies do and put 1,000 mg. of a 10% or 200 mg. of a 50% to make the dosages look inflated, but I've always preferred the honest approach.
Same for Pantethine - we label for active ingredient, not total input:
  • Many brands label based on input, not active Pantethine content
  • Heck, I don't even think some brands even know nor care about active content.
  • We use Kyowa Pantesin Pantethine.
  • Cholesterol Support XT provides 300 mg. (3 capsules)/600 mg. (6 capsules) of real actual active Pantethine from 1,098 mg. of Pantesin.

I try to formulate health series formulas to a maximum of 4 capsules per day; I was already concerned with this one being 6 capsules at the maximum dosage.
  • The number of capsules per day is determined by the maximum volume that a capsule can hold and the maximum volume if effected by the texture/fluffiness of the raw materials.
  • We label based on active content, not input dosages.
  • The maximum average fill weight for a size 00 capsule is 750 mg.
  • Citrus Bergamot is very fluffy, one of the fluffiest of common herbal raw materials.
  • We are at close to 700 mg. per capsule before excipients/flow materials per capsule

Policosanol:
As for Policosanol, if it works, then it seems to work better for some people than others, and while side effects are rare, when they are present, it makes it impossible for a person to use a product with it in it.

Studies on Policosanol are mixed, with some showing it to be effective and many showing that it isn't. My concern is that most studies showing its effectiveness were from Cuba - a country known for its sugar cane - and Policosanol is derived from sugar cane. Many studies done outside of Cuba, even on sugar cane from Cuba, were not able to replicate the effects of the studies in Cuba.

Solid stuff, may I ask if she changed anything else or quite literally only took the sup, interested because in getting it for my mother in law (she’s skeptical of ALL supplements). She’s been dealing with higher cholesterol. And cholesterol xt is truly looking like a better option.

My wife, change? Lol

The supp was the only change. Only last weekend, 6 years after that post, did I spur her to finally start exercising again (she ordered a rowing machine). Sheesh!

lol hopefully not, but yeah that’s what I was asking, thanks! Goodluck on her rowing, my wife wants a row machine for the house, probably will because she doesn’t like the gym.

The thing that did it was that my wife had arrythmias, and a heart ablation, so I bought her an Ultrahuman ring for Christmas, under the guise that it's the only one that will be able to track the condition (soon, in development). But in reality, I wanted it squawking at her about her terrible sleep and exercise habits. It worked, and she came up with the idea of the rower on her own. Yay!

I wasn't criticizing the product. It was a genuine question. I believe I'm entitled to know why an ingredient is in a product I may use. And 98% is great and all, but you still didn't address the bioavailability issues. After metabolism you're getting about 1% of the 100mg resveratrol. Doesn't seem necessary to me.

Again, I think this is a solid product. I really just wanted to know your reasoning for adding the resveratrol.

I specifically wrote - ‘not saying that you meant to be critical’ and explained what I meant about people get used to seeing things a certain way that it becomes normal - like brands making doses look inflated by using higher doses of a lower % extract.

100 mg of actual Resveratrol is NOT a low dose. I explained that and gave the example of what I was talking about and how we label for active content:
  • 100 mg. is the active.
  • 103 mg x 98% = 100 mg.
  • 200 mg x 50% = 100 mg.
  • 1000 mg x 10% = 100 mg.
  • Many brands try to make the dosage look higher than it is by labeling off total raw material input rather than active content.
Other examples:
  • Horny goat weed:
    • 1000 mg of 10% Icariin = 100 mg.
    • 500 mg of 20% Icariin = 100 mg.
    • Both have more Icariin (the active component) than a product that contains 5,000 mg of Icariins.
    • Yet ppl get so used to seeing the high dosages of the low to no percent extracts that that’s what they look for.
  • Alpha GPC:
    • 1500 mg of a 10% = 150 mg actual alpha gpc content.
    • 300 mg of a 50% = 150 mg actual alpha gpc
    • 175 mg of 90% = 157.5 mg
    • Yet I’ve seen ppl complain that brands using 175 mg of 90% were dosing it too low, when it’s actually stronger and more pure than the others.
^^^ That’s what I meant by honest and transparent labeling getting criticized much of the time in this industry. People get so used to glancing at the low % high doses and not the active content.

In reply to your comment:
I believe I'm entitled to know why an ingredient is in a product

^^^ Sure you are. Which is why it’s stated in the write up why it’s included in the product:
Resveratrol is a popular antioxidant with a wide range of cardiovascular support benefits and may support reductions in LDL (bad) cholesterol and total cholesterol.

In reply to your comment:

Your actual question and statement were:
Why the low dose of resveratrol? With supposedly terrible bioavailability, it seems strange to me.

I answered your question in great detail about why we use the dosage that we did - that we use 100 mg. of actual Resveratrol and that that is NOT a low dose when labeling for actual Resveratrol & also explained that there simply wasn't room to add anything else and keep it at a 6 capsule formula and even detailed why.

I didn't see any reason to try to argue or debate over the oral bioavailability of an ingredient that has numerous studies on it showing that it is beneficial for cardiovascular health and cholesterol when taken ORALLY. There are so many studies showing that it has been beneficial for cardiovascular health and cholesterol that there have been meta analysis done comparing the studies there's been so many.

In reply to your comment:
Doesn't seem necessary to me.

I don't consider it necessary either. The main ingredients are Citrus Bergamot, Pantethine, Spirulina, & Bilberry. Resveratrol is just a nice addition.

We had very minimal room left to fit anything else - so why did we pick Resveratrol?
  1. It's one of the most popular cardiovascular health and cholesterol support ingredients on the market.
  2. There was a maximum space of around 100 mg. and there are studies showing oral effectiveness at 100 mg.
  3. Resveratrol is included in some of the best selling cholesterol support products on the market, and in most of them, at half the dose that is included in Cholesterol Support XT.

I always try to make the absolute best products and offer them at great prices and squeeze in every bit of active ingredients that would be beneficial that I can. Not sure how/why you have an issue with a supporting ingredient being included that has been shown to support cardiovascular health, endothelial health, and improved cholesterol levels at the dosages that are included in the product.

If you're serious about wanting to learn more about this subject, there are some studies and meta analysis that suggest that the 100 mg. dosage of Resveratrol may be more beneficial for cardiovascular benefits than dosages of 500 mg. per day and above.

I don't have the time right now to go into a super detailed analysis on it because any time I have to write needs to be spent writing on the new releases and product information that pertains to them; but if you're interested in learning about it, there is research out there that to sums it up in simple terms, and some that shows that with the high dosages that are used in some of the cancer studies, you actually may lose the benefits that come with the lower dosage range.

Thank you for that. I have always avoided oral resveratrol. I'll def look more into the lower dosages. I've wanted to test out oral resveratrol for it's positive effects on the gut.

Easy to find lots more.
 
I just started taking this. I'm only 31 and around 12-14% bodyfat at 6'4 220 lbs. Last year I got bloodwork done and had high ApoB (110) and high LDL (131). Since then I lost a few pounds and started doing a little cardio 2-3 times a week. I plan to start with just 3 capsules per day unless I hear differently from some of you who have done more research into this. Also, should I split my dose?

The general thought would be to use 6 per day to get you cholesterol levels where you want them to be, and then drop back to 3 per day to help keep them there.

It doesn't have to be done that way, but that's the way it would most commonly be done.

If not doing it that way, I would start with 6 per day for at least the first 2 weeks and then you can drop back to 3 per day if you want to.

In my own experience with a lot of these ingredients, taking more gets more results. It’s not a linear increase at all, but when things are out of range you’re going to want the full dose for a while as mentioned to help actually get things down.

Also, you will never go wrong with that extra cardio.
 
I’m definitely working to take down cholesterol as health has become more of a focus over performance. So I’ll start at 6 and retest in a couple months then try going down if it’s in a good range.

Side note. A quick google search says high dose vitamin D and creatine can both elevate cholesterol. Is this true? I take about 6,000 iu Vitamin D (live in Michigan) and 3 scoops SNS Creatine HCL and weigh 220.

You need to work on your Google-fu. The very first kickback from their AI overview:

IMG_0498.webp


Also, the bigger takeaway is that you don’t want to cherrypick studies or results - what is the overall results or trends seen, if any, over a bunch of studies? You can see from the AI results from Google that there doesn’t seem to be any conclusive impact. Some found improvements, some elevations, but overall it’s not really something it’s known to specifically & significantly affect.

Furthermore, 6,000iu of D3 is not a radical dose, but you should always get bloodwork annually from the doctor to make sure you aren’t deficient, or that you aren’t taking too much for you. Keeping it in the recommended range helps prevent any issues. It’s also a good idea to take ~180mcg of K2 per every ~5,000iu D3 or so consumed. You could get some individually from a brand like NOW, or in a product like Cardiovascular Support XT.

Thanks. I literally googled “supplements that can elevate cholesterol”. I didn’t have time to dig into their findings and thought I’d ask since this thread is knowledgeable on the topic.

Google AI results can be incredibly contradictory or taken out of context a lot of times. I've asked it the same question, closed the browser, and pasted the same question and got completely different answer.

But here are 2 screenshot showing it say that creatine can lower it and Vitamin D may lower it.

I don't necessarily think that Vitamin D is going to lower cholesterol to a noticeable degree, but I don't think its going to increase it either.

Creatine HCI is going to lower cholesterol if it has any effect on it, not increase it.

Perfect. That’s kind of what I would’ve assumed, but thought I’d ask. I’m scheduled to do blood work in just over a month so I’ll do full dose to see where I’m at. Thanks.

I think that that sounds like a good plan.

And then, if you're where you want it to be, you can decrease to 3 as a maintenance.
 
Not really looking forward to how many questions will now pop up do to poor AI answers (not blaming those looking for answers, blaming crappy large corporations taking shortcuts that aren't ready).

Google probably isn't the best search engine for a million reasons nowadays though too, but I'd be extremely cautious with their AI answers even beyond their search results.

General advice is to just search for a meta-analysis or overview study on these ingredients then you can do a keyword search for the things you want (cholesterol in this case).
Agreed entirely, but the broad strokes of this painting is that many people for a variety of reasons aren’t going to do that the way your or I would - so they’re going to ask a trusted acquaintance or AI & hope it was accurate.

In my case, I already believe D3 to be safe for lipids and just posted that as a cursory superficial example.

I totally understand why people ask the questions - I'm just thankful in the case of this thread, that he asked here to double check the information.

The scariest part of AI to me is that there's no accountability for being right or wrong, and when people assume its right, they may make decisions that could be detrimental to themselves because of it.

I'm guilty of using it as a guide for simple stuff - like how to plant a pumpkin patch - and then my friend from El Salvador whose family raises pumpkins there, which I didn't know at the time, was at my house and I was telling him what it told me and he was looking at me like wtf are you even talking about lol. Needless to say, AI was wrong about that haha.
 
My wife just had bloodwork done after switching to Cholesterol Support XT from NOW's Cholesterol Pro, and has a nice decrease, so I'm ordering a years worth (because I fear it'll get cleaned out over Black Friday :D ).

Curious how long she was on it before bloodwork, thanks!
