Lower your risk of cholesterol

Cholesterol is present in everyone and is needed for normal bodily functions. However, abnormal levels of cholesterol, such as high LDL (“bad cholesterol”), low HDL (“good cholesterol”), and high triglycerides, are risk factors for heart disease and stroke.

Recurrent heart disease or stroke even after typical treatment.
