CholestMD
1MD Nutrition
Overview
CholestMD combines several ingredients with purported cardiovascular benefits. While Bergavit and Garlic Bulb Extract have strong evidence supporting their efficacy in improving lipid profiles and reducing blood pressure, the high dose of Niacin and the lack of efficacy for Olive Leaf Extract complicate the effectiveness of the overall product. The very high dosage of Niacin without an intended effect, presents a serious concern.
The Good
Bergavit and Garlic Bulb Extract offer clinically-backed cardiovascular benefits.
Bergavit may improve exercise performance.
Garlic Bulb Extract may improve glucose metabolism.
The Bad
High dose of Niacin may cause flushing, gastrointestinal issues, and liver toxicity.
Niacin is known to increase insulin resistance over time.
Olive Leaf Extract has limited evidence of benefits in humans.
