Koleston® 168 Capsules
Excess cholesterol in the blood,
Triple approach with three active ingredients
Product overview
'Koleston' is a Class 3 OTC Drug that improves serum high cholesterol and relieves peripheral circulatory disorders (coldness and numbness in hands and feet) associated with high cholesterol. The three active ingredients—soy-derived "Soybean oil unsaponifiables (Soy sterols)," lipid metabolism-promoting "Pantethine," and antioxidant "Natural Vitamin E"—work through different mechanisms to efficiently reduce excess cholesterol in the blood.
- Soy-derived Soy sterols (Soybean oil unsaponifiables) 600mg suppress cholesterol absorption from the intestines and promote excretion.
- Pantethine 375mg promotes cholesterol metabolism in the liver. Breaks down LDL (bad) and increases HDL (good).
- Natural Vitamin E (d-α-Tocopheryl acetate 100mg) suppresses the formation of lipid peroxides with antioxidant action and smooths blood flow.
- Since high cholesterol has no noticeable symptoms, regular cholesterol level measurements at medical institutions are recommended even after taking the product.
