User Reviews for Cholest Off oral

After a physical, I was told I had very high cholesterol in the 170+ range for overall cholesterol. I took this supplement less than the recommended amount (only 1 pill per meal, once or twice a day depending on the day and what I ate) and retested my cholesterol levels again. My overall cholesterol levels went from 171 to 114 in the span of 3 months. My doctor was really taken aback. Granted, I also started eating differently and walking a mile every day, so that reduction can't be only attributed to this supplement, but I definitely believe adding 1-2 pills of Cholestoff per day helped me tremendously. It can upset the stomach a little bit (I have a sensitive stomach and am prone to acid reflux) so taking it with plenty of food is a must. I would recommend this supplement to anyone concerned over cholesterol levels.Read More Read Less

I was hoping this would help me but gave me severe insomnia so I never found out. I

I had extremely high cholesterol and refused to take statins. I began with Cholestoff and cut out beef and pork. I lowered dairy intake and have eggs only once a week. My cholesterol levels went down so much the doctor said I would not need to take statins.

I’ve been taking this product for several years and it has worked for me until recently. The pills have recently changed in color. The label lists lists pine tree as an ingredient. My physician told me pine tree can cause issues and not to take it. I read pine tree can cause stenosis. I am having heartburn now with the new cholesterol off. It could be a coincidence but I’m going to look for something else that does not contain the pine tree in hopes that is the issue. It just seems different for me now. Disappointing.

Reduced my Chllolesteral. However had breast tenderness.

In 3 months my total cholesterol went down 50 points! Will continue on this and see if it continues to go down. need another 30 points!

Statins is not for me because it increases my sgot and sgpt enzimes so i tried rhis supp to lower my choles. Upon taking ot for two weeks, 2 tabs dinner and lunch …. Eventually i develop angina, urinating problem and high blood everyday thou my choles levels where normal. Effective in choles but overall not effective for me.

Wondering if any other females have noticed an increase in ovulation and breast tenderness after starting Cholestoff. If its mimicking cholesterol possibly its increasing my estrogen levels also.

People this is a good medicine but if your having side effects read up on what this medicine is and the effective compounds,which is stanols and sterols you can get this in it’s natural form from plants. Plant sterols and stanols are substances naturally found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. The only difference is this medication has a higher concentration of it and Probly has added ingredients

The cholestoff original capsules of the best ones for me and I'm quite sure for other people because the jail bills are too big they cause you to choke and almost die they are terrible so go back to the capsules I've been on them for years with no problem and then you change to the capsules and I'm having nothing but problems with them.

While this is modestly effective for lowering cholesterol, there are some side effects. At first, I had digestive issues -- loose stools, etc. This cleared up after I adjusted to the supplement. However, after a few weeks of starting it, I noticed that my hair was suddenly dry, noticeably dry, even on humid days in the summer. I wonder if the supplement's ability to pull the cholesterol from my system also impacted the quality of hair growth (which depends on cholesterol too).

Heart sped up and increase in palpitations. My heart when taking this was in the 90s all the time. It would also skip a beat and do weird things. There’s a few others that have experienced this too but it seems to be uncommon or rare. My normal pulse is in the low to mid 60s. 40s at night. (I workout and ride) So it wasn’t a small change. It was VERY noticeable. Stopped taking... Within a week I’m back to normal. Watch for this! I’m a 41 year old male with higher cholesterol. (Genetic). I’m 165 and healthy. Read More Read Less

I took this product for two months. I never got tested for how it affected my cholesterol. Unfortunately after 2 months I developed a thick itchy rash on my neck and chest. I had read this was a possible side effect so I stopped taking it and the rash subsided. I will try another non-Pine based formula.

Stubborn high cholesterol and high triglycerides. Lipitor stopped working and a combination of Lopid and Crestor didn't do much either but then when coupled with Cholestoff Plus, the three lowered it dramatically.

No effect regarding cholesterol numbers.

Had high bad cholesterol (157). Took two a day and it went down to 137, and my dr chastised me for not taking the therapeutic dosage. So took 4 a day (2x2) and it went down to 117, a number I had not seen in over 5 years. So I think it is great.

Took 3 tabs twice a day of Cholestoff with Metamucil and Citrus Bergamot along with low Cholesterol diet and I went from 250 to 180 in a few weeks

Total cholesterol went down from 301 to 299...Took 4 pills a day for almost one year.

My cholesterol has been 205 or more for many years. My doctor has been asking me to take a statin but when I did it would cause stomach pain and dizziness. I found cholestoff online and have been taking it for about 2.5 months. My cholesterol numbers have dropped dramatically. Here is an earlier blood test from about 1 yesr ago: 01/14/2019 Non-HDL 174 MG/DL Trigycleride 216 MG/DL HDL 33 MG/DL VLDL 43 MG/DL LDL 131 MG/DL Risk This result is high 6 Ratio (0-5 ) Cholesterol 207 MG/DL Here is my test after 2 weeks on Cholestoff: 10/01/2019 Non-HDL 121 MG/DL Triglycleride 130 MG/DL HDL 36 MG/DL VLDL 26 MG/DL LDL 95 MG/DL Risk 4 Ratio (0-5 ) Cholesterol 157 MG/DL My doctor is very happy with this improvement, but I have not told her yet that I am not taking the statin she prescribed. I get re-tested in a few days and I am expecting her to be quite shocked because my self test cholesterol meter has been showing 100 to 140. I cut my Cholestoff dose down to 1 capsule twice a day. Some days only 1 capsule. The benefit of Cholestoff appears to be cumulative. People who take 4 per day are likely getting too low of cholesterol levels, which can cause symptoms. I would suggest that you buy a cholesterol home test meter. I am telling my relatives to start taking cholestoff.Read More Read Less

utterly no impact on cholesterol measures
