Pure Prescriptions® Releases Sytrinol®
Support For Healthy Cholesterol Available Now
Encinitas, California - October 7, 2004 -Pure Prescriptions®, innovative online
retailer and manufacturer of professionally branded health supplements, released
Sytrinol - a patented combination of polymethoxylated flavones (PMF's), palm tocotrienols
and other ingredients extracted from plants. Sytrinol helps maintain healthy cholesterol
and triglyceride levels through different mechanisms than statin drugs or fiber.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like, waxy substance found in the bloodstream and in all your
body's cells. It's normal to have cholesterol. It's an important part of a healthy body because
it's used for producing cell membranes and some hormones, and serves other needed bodily functions.
But too high a level of cholesterol in the blood is a major risk for coronary heart disease, which
leads to heart attack. It's also a risk factor for stroke. Hypercholesterolemia is the term for high
levels of blood cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol of less than 100 mg/dL is the optimal level. Less than 130 mg/dL is near optimal
for most people. A high LDL level (more than 160 mg/dL or 130 mg/dL or above if you have two or more
risk factors for cardiovascular disease) reflects an increased risk of heart disease. That's why LDL
cholesterol is often called "bad" cholesterol.
According to the latest statistics from the American Heart Association, nearly 105 million American
adults have total blood cholesterol values of 200 mg/dL and higher, and about 37 million American adults
have levels of 240 or above. In adults, total cholesterol levels of 240 mg/dL or higher are considered
high, and levels from 200 to 239 mg/dL are considered borderline-high.
Clinical studies illustrate how Sytrinol works: PMF's decrease apoprotein B, needed to make LDL
cholesterol (bad cholesterol), palm tocotrienols inhibit HMG CoA reductase, a liver enzyme needed to
produce cholesterol, and PMF's also decrease a liver enzyme needed to make triglycerides.
"Free of side effects and backed by clinical research, Sytrinol deserves serious consideration by
anyone looking for natural, non-drug support for healthy cholesterol levels" said Dr. Chad Larson,
Senior Researcher at Pure Prescriptions. Each vegetarian capsule contains 150 mg of Sytrinol.
