Cholesterol comes from two main sources in the body. One is diet; the other is the body’s own production in the liver. That last portion accounts for 75% of the cholesterol pool. Diet is therefore important, but not as important as our own production. People that have a genetic difference in cholesterol synthesis is called FH (familial hypercholesterolemia), and they have a higher cholesterol level regardless of their diet. So it is certainly possible to have a cholesterol level of 343 mg/dl. Bios Life will be effective for this type of patient as well, since it combines four different mechanisms of lowering cholesterol.
