Lipid-Sirt from Biotics Research Corporation provides support for vascular integrity and healthy aging by supporting and stimulating sirtuin activity. Hyperlipidemia is a key factor associated with an increased risk of the development of cardiovascular disease. Also referred to as high cholesterol, dyslipdemia, and lipid disorder, hyperlipidemia is a condition by which unhealthy levels of cholesterol circulate in the blood. The human body obtains cholesterol in two ways: up to 80% of the cholesterol is produced endogenously in the liver; the remainder is obtained from the diet in the form of animal products such as meats, fish, eggs, and dairy. While there is not a readily accepted level of cholesterol in the human body that is considered 'safe', most clinical guidelines list Total Cholesterol levels under 200 mg/dl as desirable.

Why Choose Lipid-Sirt from Biotics Research Corporation?
Lipid-Sirt is the latest addition to Biotics Research Corporation hugely popular "Sirt" Line of cardiovascular and anti-aging products. Lipid-Sirt was developed to lower cholesterol. Lipid-Sirt was formulated in collaboration with Dr. Mark Houston, Associate Clinical Professor of medicine at Vanderbilt Medical School and Director of Hypertension Institute and Vascular Biology in Nashville, TN. Each serving of Lipid-Sirt supplies: 450 mg of pantethine. Pantethine may increase levels of Enzyme CoA, which can increase the beta oxidation of fatty acids directly, and its metabolite cysteamine may decrease the hepatic synthesis of cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-Co reductase.

400mg of Plant Sterols (from soybean) are included as they have been shown to reduce the intestinal absorption of cholesterol by 30-40%, significantly lowering LDL cholesterol. Green tea consumption has been associated with a reduced mortality due to all causes and due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), so 300mg of green tea leaf extract (standardized to 50% EGCG) has been included in Lipid-Sirt. EGCG possesses the most potent antioxidant, thereby reducing LDL and VLDL oxidation, and by improving endothelium-dependant flow mediated dilation in patients with endothelial dysfunction. 37.5 mg of Delta-tocotrienol (from annatto seed) is included, as studies have demonstrated that tocotrienols may inhibit the progression of atherosclerotic lesions in mice. Delta-tocotrienols specifically were found to possess the greatest ability to inhibit cholesterol synthesis. Lastly, 2.5 mg of Phytolens is provided as polymeric proanthocyanidin which has been shown to increase endothelial nitric oxide syntase to a greater extent than monomers in aortic endothelial cells. Lipid-Sirt is a safe and effective product for the support and management of hyperlipidemia.
