The cardiovascular health of more than 64 million Americans is currently endangered. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the cause of nearly 1.4 million deaths in the US each year, and has been the leading cause of death in this country since 1900. This apparent epidemic is as costly as it is deadly, with treatment of CVD having cost the nation nearly $386 billion in 2004 alone. CVD has a number of causes, but high blood cholesterol is one of the major risk factors. Those Americans in jeopardy of developing CVDat least one in every six peoplecan lower their risk by managing their cholesterol levels.

Common treatment for the prevention of CVD includes lifestyle changes like increasing daily exercise and eating a reduced-fat diet in addition to cholesterol lowering supplements.

TESTIMONIAL

"Late 2005 my cholesterol was over normal limits of 200. My doctor prescribed Lovastatin 40 mg (statin drug). Early 2006 I researched the possible damaging side effects of this product and it had several. I decided to try a natural product to normalize my cholesterol count, without side effects. I began taking HLO and within 30 days the count was at a normal level and no side effects. I have maintained use and my latest test showed my total count to be 165."

It has been suggested that pharmaceutical treatments used to lower cholesterol often cause a number of side effects that are, in some cases, worse than the condition the drugs were meant to treat, and most nutritional supplements are simply not effective enough to positively impact health. HLO, a unique and patented formulation containing polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) and tocotrienols, has been shown to provide meaningful benefits to heart health, without the negative side effects associated with other treatments. The beneficial effects of HLO were both meaningful and rapidly achieved.

The Cholesterol Problem

---

Cholesterol is a natural, fat-like substance which is manufactured by the liver, and can be also obtained from the diet. It is used to help build cell membranes, make some hormones, synthesize vitamin D, and form bile secretions that aid in digestion. Since lipids are insoluble in water, the largest component of blood, cholesterols most important job is to help carry fat through the blood vessels. Before cholesterol can enter the bloodstream to be transported to and from cells, it is coated with a protein. These cholesterol-protein packages are referred to as lipoproteins.

Lipoproteins are transport vehicles in the circulation that are composed of various lipids including cholesterol, triglycerides, and proteins known as apoproteins. The major classes of lipoproteins are chylomicrons, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).

HDL-Creferred to as good cholesterol has an inverse relationship with coronary heart disease, offering protection against atherosclerosis. HDL-C contains more protein than any of the other lipoproteins. Its primary function is to transport cholesterol from the tissues and blood to the liver for excretion from the body or synthesis into bile acids. HDL-C also prevents the uptake of LDL-C at receptor sites in the body and participates in the metabolism of other lipoproteins.

On the other hand, low-density lipoproteins are the primary transporters of cholesterol in the blood. Elevated LDL cholesterol is a risk factor for coronary heart disease; it directly contributes to cellular alterations of the inner walls of arteries including plaque buildup and atherosclerosis. For these reasons, LDL-C is called bad cholesterol. LDL-C is often the primary target of cholesterol-lowering therapies.

Why HLO?

• CVD endangers the lives of millions of Americans, many of whom may not be helped by altering their diet and exercise alone.
• HLO contains PMFs and Tocotrienols - Powerful compounds that provide antioxidant effects in the body as well as assist in the reduction of cholesterol.
• HLO is safer than statin drugs, the common treatment for CVD, which can lead to liverproblems, muscle ache and weakness, and nerve damage.
• HLO is more effective than the common dietary supplements used for reducing cholesterol.
• Scientifically backed by three separate clinical trials, HLO is proven to be effective.
• HLO in softgels is extensively more bioavailable than HLO in other formulations.
