How does CholestOffŽ Complete differ from other products intended to lower cholesterol?
The prescription drugs commonly referred to as “statin” drugs (Mevacor, Lipitor, others) taken in doses of 10 to 100 mg block a specific enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis. Thus, these also influence “genetic” cholesterol, but via a different mechanism from pantethine. Phytosterols function by partially blocking the absorption of cholesterol from the diet. Cholestyramine and soluble fiber product have a similar absorption reducing function.
