Description
Specification of CholeSol Field of Innovation The present innovation relates generally to a composition for maintaining normal healthy cholesterol levels, supporting a healthy ratio of HDL/LDL, as well as enhancing general health in aging, such as but not limited to the benefits of regulating _blood lipid, reducing intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol, promoting the metabolism of cholesterol, and also providing antioxidants, which help eliminate excess oxidants from the body, and help maintain healthy immune function, thus Senhancing general health in aging in mammals. More particularly, the present innovation is directed to compositions comprising herbs or extracts of herbs or botanical or horticultural equivalents of the herbs or chemicals or functional equivalents of the herbal extracts useful in maintaining normal healthy cholesterol levels, supporting a healthy ratio of HDL/LDL, as well as enhancing general health in aging, such as but not limited to the benefits of regulating blood lipid, reducing intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol, promoting the metabolism of cholesterol, and also providing antioxidants, which help eliminate excess oxidants from the body, and help maintain healthy immune function, thus enhancing general health in aging in mammals. The present innovation further contemplates a method of regulating cholesterol levels in mammals by administration of a herbal composition or its chemical or functional equivalent.
Background of the Innovation Herbal formulations comprising extracts of more than one herbal plant have been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Use of herbal formulations is a major principle in the utilization of herbs in the management of diseases. There is now an increasing acceptance of their value and therapeutic efficacy in Western medicine. TCM has its unique and philosophical theory in etiology, diagnosis, pharmacology and therapeutics.
