Colestinol

Colestinol is available in tablet form, which can be taken orally, in a box of 30 tablets, sufficient for a certain period of treatment, depending on the recommended daily dosage.

Each tablet contains a combination of pine phytosterols 800 mg, bergamot extract 50 mg, vitamin C 20 mg, vitamin B1 (thiamine) 0.275 mg and vitamin B12 0.625 µg.

Colestinol is recommended for people who want to maintain normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels and support cardiovascular health. 

It is suitable for people at high risk of hypercholesterolemia and for those who want to take a preventive approach.

The main ingredient, pine phytosterols, are structurally similar to cholesterol and occur naturally in plants. They play a key role in reducing the absorption of cholesterol from food, thereby helping to lower total cholesterol and 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol. By lowering cholesterol levels, phytosterols help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke.

Bergamot extract is rich in antioxidants and has a beneficial effect on lipid metabolism and the digestive system.

Vitamins C, B1 and B12 help reduce oxidative stress, maintain vascular and nervous system health.

The recommended dosage of Colestinol is 1-2 tablets a day, depending on your doctor's recommendations.

In general, 2 tablets a day are recommended to lower cholesterol and 1 tablet a day to keep cholesterol levels within normal limits.

The duration of Colestinol treatment may vary depending on your health status and treatment goals. A course of 3-6 months is generally recommended.

Colestinol is not indicated for people with allergies to any of its active ingredients or excipients. 

Also, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting this supplement.

The supplement is not recommended for people with severe liver disease or severe kidney failure without medical advice.

Also, patients taking cholesterol-lowering drugs or other supplements that affect lipid metabolism should consult a specialist before using Colestino.

This supplement should be accompanied by a balanced, high-fiber diet and an active lifestyle to maximize the benefits.

Side effects of Colestinol are rare, but may include gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating or nausea, especially at the beginning of treatment. These symptoms are usually transient and disappear as the body gets used to the supplement.

In very rare cases, allergic reactions to one of the active ingredients may occur. If you notice symptoms such as skin rash, shortness of breath or swelling of the face and throat, you should stop taking the medicine and consult a doctor immediately.

Colestinol may interact with other cholesterol-lowering drugs such as statins and with antidiabetic medicines.

It is recommended that you inform your doctor or pharmacist of any other medicines or supplements you may be using to avoid possible interactions. 

There is no specific information on Colestinol overdose, but excessive consumption may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort or other adverse effects. 

In case of accidental overdose, it is important to seek medical advice.

Colestinol should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light and excessive heat.
