works!
I chose these for their touted "cholesterol lowering" properties.  I am aware that eating cholesterol does not cause cholesterol.  I am aware that eating saturated fat does not cause cholesterol.  I know that inflammation causes cholesterol and any other school of thought is like blaming the bandaid for what the boxcutter did.<br /><br />That said ... because I have a mast cell disorder my body seems to rebel on me and causes high cholesterol.  The first time is was 363 high and I lowered it to 217 by eliminating dairy only.  This was on the recommendation of a nutritionist. We were already on a clean keto ... so no added sugars or grains or other inflammatory foods.  In MY body however, even though I am not allergic to dairy, or intolerant, or 'sensitive" on tests, my body doesn't like it.<br /><br />So ... I again popped a 288 cholesterol 3 weeks ago.  LDL was high and everything else good.  I told my doc I could lower it with dietary changes.  He said sure why not.  So ... about 3 weeks ago I cut out all dairy except butter & heavy cream (which are mostly fat), and added in Citrus Bergamot.  I checked my cholesterol last week and I was 204, which to me is great and I am happy with that.  But I have continued taking this supplement and keeping dairy out (because my pain had gone way down and my energy way up)  I also ended up taking almonds out too because they were making my lip swell and throat sore (again mast cell disorder).  I took my cholesterol today and it was 114.  Is it a fluke?  An outlier?  No idea.  I will get it tested at a lab in a few weeks and I will update my review.<br /><br />But I will say, this supplement seems to makes a difference, coupled with a proper diet low in inflammatory sugars and things that spike insulin and I believe this is a winner.  I would recommend it.
