Cholesterol Formula Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of three ingredients extracted together in equal parts: a red hedgerow berry, the silvery leaf of the olive tree and the seed husk of an Indian plantain. Each is also sold on its own. It is a traditional herbal product and not a replacement for any prescribed medication - please read the safety information below before use.
- Hawthorn, berry - Crataegus laevigata berry (Rosaceae)
- Olive, leaf - Olea europaea leaf (Oleaceae)
- Psyllium, husk - Plantago psyllium seed husk (Plantaginaceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced cultivated botanicals (hawthorn from Chile, psyllium from India, olive leaf from Turkey). Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Hawthorn berry - the small red fruit of a thorny tree of hedgerows and woodland edges, one of the classic European hedge plants; the berry is used here, while the leaf and flower are a separate preparation.
- Olive leaf - the narrow, leathery, gray-green leaf of the Mediterranean olive tree, the same tree that gives olives and olive oil; the leaf has a distinctly bitter taste.
- Psyllium husk - the thin, pale outer coat of the seed of a plantain relative cultivated in the dry plains of India. In a liquid extract it is a flavor-neutral ingredient; it is the powdered husk, not this extract, that is used as a bulk fiber.
Why a tincture
The three dried ingredients are macerated together in organic alcohol with a little vegetable glycerin and water - the classic herbal method. A tincture keeps for years at room temperature in a cool, dark place, has a bitter, slightly fruity taste, and a few drops disappear in a glass of water or juice. A serving of 20 to 30 drops is roughly 1 ml of liquid, so the amount of alcohol per serving is small.
How to use
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a full glass of water or juice and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving. If you take any medication, take this blend at least two hours apart from it. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tight.
Tincture or drops?
If you avoid alcohol or prefer a milder taste, the same three-ingredient blend is available as Cholesterol Formula Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The ingredients and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs. Our Blood Pressure Support Tincture is a different blend that uses hawthorn leaf and flower rather than the berry.
Important safety information - please read before use
This blend interacts with heart and blood-pressure medicines and contains psyllium, a known allergen. Please read before use.
- Not a substitute for medication: this is an herbal product. If you have been diagnosed with a heart condition or a lipid disorder, use it only with your doctor, and never stop or change prescribed medication, including statins, on your own.
- Heart and blood-pressure medication: hawthorn can interact with digoxin, beta-blockers, nitrates, calcium-channel blockers and antihypertensives, and olive leaf may add to the effect of blood-pressure medicines. Do not use with any of them without your doctor.
- Psyllium allergy: psyllium has caused serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Do not use if you are allergic to psyllium or plantain-family plants. Seek emergency care for hives, swelling or difficulty breathing.
