Cholesterol Formula Alcohol-Free Drops
Cholesterol Formula Alcohol-Free Glycerite, Hawthorn Berry, Olive Leaf, Psyllium Husk
Cholesterol Formula Alcohol-Free Drops
This is an alcohol-free liquid extract (glycerite) 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-free glycerite - liquid drops. Other ingredients: vegetable glycerin, 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 the alcohol-free drops
The three dried ingredients are extracted together in vegetable glycerin and purified water, so there is no ethanol in the bottle - the version to choose if you avoid alcohol. Glycerin gives the drops a mild, naturally sweet taste that softens the bitterness of olive leaf.
What is a glycerite?
A glycerite is a liquid herbal extract made with vegetable glycerin instead of alcohol. Glycerin is a clear, naturally sweet liquid from plant oils; it extracts and preserves the water-soluble parts of the herbs. Because glycerin is a weaker preservative than alcohol, keep the bottle refrigerated after opening. The glycerin and water percentages are printed on the label.
How to use
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a full glass of water, juice or tea 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. Refrigerate after opening and use within the period printed on the label.
Drops or tincture?
If you prefer the classic alcohol-based extract with the longest shelf life at room temperature, the same three-ingredient blend is available as Cholesterol Formula Tincture - the alcohol-based version. The ingredients and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs. Our Blood Pressure Support Alcohol-Free Drops 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.

- 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.
- Medication timing: psyllium can slow the absorption of medicines - take this blend at least two hours apart from any medication, with a full glass of water.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do not use.
- Blood sugar: olive leaf and psyllium may lower blood sugar - monitor if you take diabetes medication.
