HDL Modulators & Plaque Reducers Cholesterol in your body comes
naturally from internal creation or from cholesterol in animal
products that you eat. Cholesterol and other fats can't dissolve
in the blood. They have to be transported to and from the cells
by either low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or high-density
lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is commonly known as "bad" cholesterol
and can clog your arteries if you have too much of it. HDL is
known as the "good" cholesterol and it helps transport the bad
cholesterol away from your arteries, thus reducing your risk of
a heart attack.1 Atherosclerosis is the process in which
deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste
products, calcium and other substances build up in the inner
lining of an artery, commonly known as plaque buildup. Plaques
can grow large enough to significantly reduce the blood flow
through an artery, but the most severe damage occurs when they
become fragile and subsequently rupture. Plaques that rupture
can either cause blood clots to form
