Cholesteran

Cholesteran is available in the form of vegetable capsules, packaged in bottles of 60 capsules. This pharmaceutical form allows for easy administration, effective absorption of the active ingredients, and rigorous control of the daily dose administered.

Cholesteran is indicated as an adjuvant in:

• Hypercholesterolemia (increased total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides);
• Prevention of cardiovascular disease (by controlling the lipid profile);
• Reducing the risk of stroke and transient ischemic attacks;
• Regulating intestinal transit, especially in people with an unbalanced diet or a sedentary lifestyle;
• Nutritional support with vitamins, especially through the B vitamins provided by brewer's yeast.

The product acts synergistically through several active ingredients with clinically documented effects, such as brewer's yeast, soy lecithin, wheat bran, and artichoke leaf extract.

The recommended dose is 1 capsule three times a day, taken after main meals.

A minimum one-month course is recommended, which can be repeated periodically, depending on serum lipid levels and the instructions of the attending physician or nutritionist.

Cholesteran is contraindicated in the following situations:

• Allergy to any of the ingredients (especially soy or gluten, due to the presence of wheat bran and soy lecithin);
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding, due to insufficient clinical studies on the safety of the product during these physiological periods (use only on medical advice);
• Acute inflammatory bowel disease, in which fiber may be temporarily contraindicated.

Cholesteran can be effectively integrated into nutritional intervention protocols for mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia.

It is recommended to combine the product with a low-saturated fat diet, avoid simple sugars, and include daily physical activity to achieve significant results.

In general, Cholesteran is well tolerated by most users. In isolated cases, the following may occur:

• Bloating, flatulence, or accelerated transit, caused by increased fiber intake;
• Skin or digestive allergic reactions (in case of sensitivity to gluten, soy, or other components);
• Mild, transient abdominal discomfort at the beginning of administration.

It is recommended to drink plenty of water during the treatment to facilitate the digestion of fiber and the absorption of the active ingredients.

Cholesteran may influence the absorption of certain drugs taken orally, especially drugs with specific intestinal absorption, due to the increased fiber intake, which can speed up transit and alter bioavailability.

It is recommended to take it at least 1-2 hours apart from other medications, with the agreement of your doctor or pharmacist.

Cholesteran may interact with anticoagulants or statins, so caution and medical advice are necessary.

No cases of severe overdose with Cholesteran have been reported. However, administration in doses much higher than those recommended may lead to accelerated intestinal transit, reduced absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, or even electrolyte imbalances.

In case of accidental overdose, adequate hydration and medical advice are recommended.

Cholesteran should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct light and moisture, at temperatures below 25°C. Keep out of the reach of children. Observe the expiry date stated on the packaging.
