Lowerol Review
Lowerol is a new food supplement from Scotland. According to the manufacturers it lowers cholesterol quickly and does not cause side effects. Both these claims are major selling points because people with high cholesterol have approximately twice the risk of developing heart disease (a desirable level is lower than 200 mg/dL) and the most commonly used cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) can cause unpleasant side effects.

Key Ingredients
Each 500 mg capsule contains 4 ingredients--
Red Yeast Rice Extract (400mg) — Red yeast rice is used as an ingredient in many Asian recipes and Chinese herbalists use it to treat many health problems including high blood pressure and indigestion. Red yeast rice is now becoming more popular in the western world and has been subjected to several clinical studies. In one study, which lasted for duration of 6 months, one group of study subjects was given red yeast rice twice a day. The control group was given placebos. When the study ended the red yeast rice group showed a lower level of LDL (average decrease of 35 mg/dL) and an increased amount of HDL. The placebo group also showed lower LDL levels, but the decrease was not so significant (just 15 mg/dL). The placebo group also failed to gain the same level of increase in HDL. No muscle cramps or other side effects were reported by any of the study subjects who were give red yeast rice.
Grape Seed Extract (80mg) — Grapes are known to rich in antioxidants that can boost the health and strengthen the cardiovascular system. Further study is probably warranted, but the results of recent studies suggest some of the antioxidants in grapes could reduce LDL by around 20%.
Policosanol (10mg) — Policosanol contains a combination of alcohols derived from Cuban sugarcane wax, including octacosanol (60%). Some studies suggest supplementation with policosanol can be particularly beneficial for inhibiting the formation of cholesterol in the liver. In one study the cholesterol lowering benefits of policosanol were compared to the benefits offered by the popular cholesterol lowering drug Lovastatin (statin-type drug). After two month of comparative testing policosanol had outperformed Lovastatin by 2% (lowering LDL). The difference is not particularly noticeable, but the test subjects who were given policosanol also showed elevated levels of HDL. Raising HDL is an ability Lovastatin does not possess.
Coenzyme Q10 (10mg) — Also known as ubiquinone, and sometimes abbreviated to CoQ10, Coenzyme Q10 that is important to a number of biological functions including generating energy from ATP. The abilities of CoQ10 can be inhibited by certain medication, including the beta blockers used to control high blood pressure and the statin-type drugs used to lower cholesterol levels. This inference is one of the main contributing factors to the side effects experienced by people who are attempting to lower their cholesterol levels with statins. The addition of extra CoQ10 to the Lowerol formulation should help ensure Lowerol users do no experience such issues.
Can Lowerol Really Lower
Cholesterol
Levels Without Side Effects?
There is a possibility that the naturally-occurring monacolins provided by red rice yeast may produce a slight reduction in the body's levels of CoQ10, but any lowering effect should be adequately compensated for by the addition of extra CoQ10 in the Lowerol formulation.
Customer Reviews
"My cholesterol level was high and changing my diet was not helping. Desperate to avoid statins I gave Napier's product a try, I've just returned from my doctors and he's told me to keep on doing whatever I have been doing because its working. I fully intend to do so."
"My GP gave me a month to bring my LDL levels into check. If I couldn't do it he was going to prescribe statins. My old man takes them so I've seen firsthand the misery they can cause. Needless to say I was not keen on going the same route so I went online did a lot of searching for something to help. In the end I gave lowerol a shot and the doc says its worked. Now I'm hoping they can do the same thing for my old man."
Guarantee
Napiers show enough faith in their product to provide customers with a 60 day money back guarantee. Bearing in mind the fact that each bottle lasts for one month, and allowing for postage transit times, that still allows customers plenty of time to use an entire bottle and judge the results for themselves.
