This product works on reducing cholesterol synthesis by suppressing the HMG CoA reductase enzyme.

Start with 2 capsules per day and increase to 4 per day if needed.
Consider giving this product with coenzyme Q10 since CoQ10 production may be altered as both cholesterol and CoQ10 are synthesized in this same pathway.
