Maintaining Cholesterol Within Existing Healthy Ranges*

Clinical Research Area #1

Cholesterol itself isn’t bad. But too much of it can lead to heart disease or stroke. Maintaining existing healthy cholesterol levels is crucial, and Thrive Adaptogenics supplements can help.*

In a double-blind placebo controlled study of Thrive Adaptogenics Original, ninety-six healthy subjects who were administered up to 750ml per day of Thrive Adaptogenics Original or placebo maintained healthy levels of HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol over a 28 day period.¹ An additional pilot study conducted with 10 individuals administered 4 oz. (120ml) daily for 30 days showed a mild decrease in LDL and minor increase in HDL cholesterol level with participants who showed previously on the high-end range of normal cholesterol levels.²

Another randomized, double blind placebo-controlled study conducted with current smokers administered two ounces (60ml) twice daily showed no effect on the placebo group, but a 6%, 6%, and 12% decrease on total cholesterol, LDL and trigylcerides respectively as well as a 16% increase in HDL levels in the individuals who drank Thrive Adaptogeincs Original over 30 days.³

The evidence is mounting, and it’s proving that Thrive Adaptogenics supplements are a great way to maintain normal cholesterol levels already within the normal range.*
