The following are unsolicited comments from customers who wished to share their experiences with Cholest-natural
"I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with your products. I started taking your Cholest-Natural, Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil Esters and Total Balance approximately a year ago. My cholesterol at that time was 279, my triglycerides were 600. After 6 months I had lowered my cholesterol to 259 and triglycerides to 300.
I went in last week for another blood test and my cholesterol is down to 196 and triglycerides are down to 122. I do watch what I eat, but have not changed anything drastically. I also have not exercised like I should, so I can honestly say that my results have been attributed to your products.
I still need to work on my good and bad cholesterol as my bad is 143 and my good is 28. High cholesterol runs in my family as my mother and sister are both on statins, but I refuse to go on them."
Teri, US
"I wanted to pass on my test results for last year to add to your database of positive results. I only took Cholest-Natural for one month in the beginning, but I've continued to take Total Balance Men's Plus and Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil Esters since then. My results are as follows:
April 2005:
Cholesterol - 228
Triglycerides - 128
LDL - 171
HDL - 31
September 2005:
Cholesterol - 209
Triglycerides - 102
LDL - 155
HDL - 34
May 2006:
Cholesterol - 192
Triglycerides - 57
LDL - 141
HDL - 40
Pretty amazing results. I do watch how much I eat, but not necessarily what I eat. I try to exercise routinely, but I am by no means a exercise enthusiast!Thank you for your help and for the great products Warren and his company are providing."
Ron, US
"You may recall me writing to you recently regarding my concerns raised over the study done on policosanol that questioned its effectiveness, to which you kindly replied and inserted in your last newsletter. Well, I just had my cholesterol tested again and I have a success to report to you after taking Cholest-Natural for only 3 and a half months!
Test date: 16th December 2005
Borderline high readings for cholesterol. Total cholesterol - 236; HDL - 58; cholesterol ratio - 4.1; LDL - 152
Test date: 6th June 2006
Near optimal levels, though HDL is slightly reduced.
Total cholesterol - 192; HDL - 50; cholesterol ratio - 3.84; LDL - 111
I attribute this success to a combination of taking Cholest-Natural regularly each day (2 capsules half an hour before dinner), careful diet and rigorous exercise at the gym with a trainer four times a week. Now, if you guys at Xtend-Life can only figure out a magic weight loss pill for middle-aged women, I'll be all set!"
Marion, US
In the summer of 2005 my reading was 178. My next 2 readings in the fall were 214 and 217. I informed my doctor that I did not want to be put on medication. I began taking your Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil Esters and Cholest-Natural formulas and took them for two months. I then continued taking Omega 3/DHA together with Total Balance Men's Plus. Last week I gave blood for my cholesterol check and my new reading is 174! I have read so many other statements here that also confirm a major drop in cholesterol readings and I can proudly say that it works for me too! Thank you Xtend-Life staff for your research and commitment to your products and your customers."
Bruce, USA
"I thought you might like to hear the very positive results of my husband's cholesterol levels after he was on your Cholest-Natural for about a year. He was about to go on Lipitor when I started searching for alternative solutions and stumbled on your website. I convinced him to try your Cholest-Natural and it worked! Although he was only taking 2 gel caps in the evenings, usually 1/2 hour before dinner, I believe that along with his diet your Cholest-Natural really helped with the recent results:
Date HDL LDL Total
Feb-05 not available 216 292
Dec-05 42 152 213
Jan-06 54 118 200
Thank you for having such good quality and effective supplements."
Chris, US
"I cannot thank you folks enough. I stopped taking Lipitor back in September 05 due to numerous side effects and started taking Cholest-Natural. My blood work results were astounding with my LDL down by 20%, but not only that my HDL went UP by 20%! I was so impressed that I forwarded my results and your information to my father, who subsequently placed his own order. After just six weeks the same story. LDL down 20%, HDL up 20%! We both want to extend our thanks to you and yours.
By the way, all that our traditional doctors can do is scratch their heads...they're at a loss!
Thanks again and HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
Jim in Ohio (and Dad in Delaware)
"For your information my total cholesterol has been reduced from 250 to 167. The LDL has dropped from 150+ to 91. That is much better than I expected. I am passing the word. I would buy stock in your company if I could!"
Joe, USA
"…By the way, I am re-ordering Cholest-Natural for a friend whose overall cholesterol count was 275 and is now, after about 6 weeks taking the formula, 240! Her HDL has increased as well."
Terry, USA
"This is fantastic. My results with the old formula were stunning. Cholest-Natural works better than Lipitor."
Joe B, USA
"I just got my cholesterol reading after taking your product for 7 months and I want you guys to be the first to know that it dropped almost 50 points!! Wow! My HDL is 94 also! Thanks so much for this great supplement...I'm a loyal customer!!…"
Jodi C, USA
"Oh, just so you know, in five weeks my total cholesterol levels dropped approximately 22-23 points. I took the regular dose for the first couple of weeks, but then doubled up the last three. I am so happy that I do not have to take meds!"
Becky, USA
"A word of thanks about Cholest-Natural. My wife was advised by her doctor that she had high levels of cholesterol and needed to take lipitor to bring them down. Not wanting to take the drug she began taking the Xtend-Life cholesterol formula and returned to her doctor for a new test after 6 weeks. Her level had dropped by 39 points."
Richard, USA
"I will most likely be taking Cholest-Natural for the rest of my life. I am 33 years old and before I started taking your product my cholesterol was 260. I was tested 6 months after starting your product (for my life insurance policy) and my cholesterol has dropped by almost 50%. I received the highest health rating possible (top 5%) by my life insurance company."
Darren G, USA
"My wife purchased your cholesterol product about a month ago. Here are the results. She started on October 28th, taking two caps a day as directed. The last day was November 27th. She maintained a "healthy" type of diet, although she did enjoy some ice cream, red meat and other "bad things" a couple of times a week. A generally good diet though. She was in class and had virtually NO exercise for the three weeks or so that she was taking your pills.

Robert M, USA
"Just wanted to let you know that the new Cholest-Natural is working really good for me. I had my blood test taken in June. The LDL was 167 on August 31st 04. It is 141 now and I am so happy to see that difference in just 2 months, I hope by the end of this year to have it down to double digits. It has not been this low for years. I am happy with your new formula. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT THIS."
Bonnie, USA
"I got my cholesterol levels done this week and the results are fantastic.
My total cholesterol was down from 6.6 to 5.5 , the lowest I've got to in over 10 years. My HDL went up from 1.2 to 1.4, LDL went down from 4.9 to 3.7 and the ratio went down from 5.5 to 3.9 (ideal ratio is below 4.5). All of this is due to the Xtend-Life Cholesterol Formula, which I've been on for 6 months.
It'll be interesting to see what further improvements I can make with the new Cholest-Natural formula. Kind regards."
Wayne H, New Zealand
"Just to tell you that Cholest-Natural has had two other effects -dramatic weight loss and as a pain reliever in the hips that have had replacement surgery. If it reduces cholesterol as well it is an ASTONSHING REMEDY, keep posting it!!"
Michael H, Portugal
"I found your products online by doing research on red rice yeast to help my husband with high cholesterol. I was so excited to come across your website and outstanding products. So glad I didn't buy the red rice yeast, which I didn't have a clue about. Thank you for informing me of its hazards.
My husband's been on Cholest-Natural since December 2004, he was at 293 (total). I am so happy to tell you he is down to 182 (as of May 2005). It's just amazing and I am so thankful to you. He loves it because there are no side effects. I wanted to use a natural approach as I, like many others, know prescription drugs are not always the way to go.
You are the BEST and I will recommend you to anyone I come across with a cholesterol problem. A safe alternative that really does work! Can't begin to express my thanks to you. Love the informative newsletters also!"
Carol, USA
My primary physician has a total cholesterol of 300 and he's quite a bit younger than I. I printed out your website pages for him, but I think I may also give him one of the unopened bottles of the product that I have....
...Here are a couple of things that might be of interest to your research folks. Before I started taking Cholest-Natural I was having a terrible time with ulcerative colitis. When I was in the hospital I started showing some indications that got the attention of the cardiologist. He prescribed Lipitor, which I decided I didn't want to take. I ordered the first bottle of your product instead....
...Here's the second thing: when I started taking your product my hair was falling out in handfuls - from the colitis, I assumed. Now my hair is coming back in, thick and shinier and darker than it was before. It actually has less grey. Who's to say what the cause is for sure, but there's a lot of good stuff in that product of yours. Hmmm...
Best regards"
Kathleen O'Shea, USA
"...My doctor told me in July that I had to get my triglyceride level down or I might have to use drugs to get it down. Here are the results from taking the Omega 3 and Total Balance Men’s Plus for about 4 months in a 6 month time frame:
5/05 11/05
Cholesterol 170 153
Tryglicerides 276 137
Hdl 29 36
LDL 86 90
Glucose 113 103
He was very impressed. He said he couldn't recall where he saw a case of the numbers improving so much in a short period of time, especially the HDL going up nearly 20% which he said is almost impossible."
Marc, USA
"…I had a cholesterol test taken at my doctor's office.
Triglyerides 487
Cholesterol 203
HDL 32
LDL 131.
I started taking Cholest-Natural... I can't take statin drugs because I was having reactions to the drugs. My doctor sent me in for another cholesterol test...
Triglycerides 363
Cholesterol 198
LDL 95
HDL 30.
I work out for at least 30 mins every day. I go to Cardio Rehab three times a week. This is the first time my numbers have come down. I know I have a long way to go but I can do it. The Cholesterol Formula is the only thing I have changed. I am 66 years old, 20 lbs over weight, but I am on a low fat, low sodium diet.
I hope and pray the numbers keep coming down and the HDL go up. Thanks again."
Carl, USA
"I have been using Cholest-Natural and Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil formulas daily. I was diagnosed back in January of 2005 with total cholesterol level of 267, with HDL at 95, LDL at 172 and triglycerides at 169.
My doctor wanted to put me on statin drug. I decided not to and went for alternative options. I changed my diet almost immediately with a cut back of red meat, dairy & sugar (no refined sugars at all) and start taking the Xtend-Life formulas. I also included in my daily intakes 5 to 6gm of Psyllium Husk, 500mg of Niacin (Vitamin B3) non-flushing and 16oz of Pomegranate & Grape Juice (pure/fresh) daily. I'm 42 years old with a 5' 8" athletic frame. I play competitive soccer so I'm physically fit and get plenty of intensive workouts. Last week I went back for my physical and tests again. I'm looking at my new report and according to my physician it's incredible.
Total Cholesterol 200
HDL 110
LDL 90
TG 119
CK 128.
I can't say with absolute certainty what actually worked, but I wanted to share this bit of news with your readers. I do admire your contribution and hard work to help others…"
Ray, USA
"I have been using Xtend-Life's Omega 3/DHA Esters, Natural Cholesterol Formula and Total Balance for quite a while now after a bad experience with a drug two years ago (by the way, the latter made a HUGE difference to the “brain fog" I had suffered for several months).
Many thanks for both the great products and the open lines of communication. I spent a lot of time researching dietary supplements and chose Xtend-Life for a variety of reasons. It came as a complete shock to discover on placing my first order that you were based in New Zealand. It's fantastic to see a local company doing such great things and being at the forefront of R&D in this area - keep up the good work!"
Brett, New Zealand
"I just wanted to let you know that your products have helped me to reduce my cholesterol. I began taking Total Balance Women's Plus, Omega 3/DHA Esters and Cholest-Natural a little over two months ago. My cholesterol was 265 when tested in October. My LDL was 175. I was alarmed and became fanatical about what I ate...until the holidays. Once I fell off the wagon I never really did recapture my initial discipline (or panic) but I did not want to take prescription medication. A friend told me about Policosanol and I started doing research on the internet, which led me to your website.
In addition to taking your products for the past two months I have eaten more salmon, more olive oil and reduced my consumption of butter, mayonnaise and ice cream. I've added more fiber to my diet. I try to eat oatmeal several times a week, but I haven't eliminated everything I like completely. Today I got my latest test results.
My total cholesterol has dropped from 265 to 196 and my LDL has dropped from 175 to 129. My HDL remained fairly stable, going from 70 to 67. These results were better than I expected in such a short time. I have told a number of other people about your website and recommended your products. Just wanted to let you know you have another satisfied customer. I signed up for automatic delivery every 45 days this morning.
Thanks for your products and the great customer service you've provided me when I have had questions. I have always received prompt responses to my emails and helpful feedback from your staff."
Shari, USA
"Thank you for your frank answers to my questions. In spring 2004 my cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides were all out of the normal ranges. I started using olive oil for cooking and for salad dressing. In October 2004 I began taking Cholest-Natural and Total Balance Men's Plus. I took double doses of your Cholesterol Formula during November 2004 and December 2004. At my annual check-up, in December 2004 my cholesterol was 161, HDL was 36, LDL was 109 and triglycerides were 78. Due to what I learned on your web site about heart attack and stroke prevention, I had my doctor check two other indicators: my Homocysteine was 11 and my C-Reactive Protein was 1.51. My doctor was amazed.
Thank you for your excellent products and your frank advice."
Eric, USA
"I did notice an improvement after taking your formula for just a few months. I did not see much improvement in the past when I took Gugulplex (another herbal product). Think I'll continue for another 6 months and see and then follow your protocol. It's wonderful that it's not a lifetime thing like most meds. What wonderful products you have!"
Cindy, USA
"I must tell you this: before taking your product I paid a visit to my doctor, total check up. What he found was my cholesterol was 325. Very bad. So the next day I started on the product. After two months, would you know, my cholesterol dropped to 180. Then I went back to my doctor. I think if he was a little older he would have had a heart attack. The man did not believe the result, so you know what, he sent me back to redo the test on his expense. I tell you, the man was just blown away, you know, all the time he was telling me to go on some drugs but I never like taking drugs and kept telling myself there must be another way."
Anthony, West Indies
"This test below was done on May 18, 2004 after one month of using Cholest-Natural. I have been on the former one for 2 months and then the new one for the 3rd month. I went a short period of half a month without it. The email was a reply from my Doctor Scott here in Alaska. You will see his note below.
Then: HDL: 35 – LDL: 104 – Risk: 5.2 – Tryg: 214 – Total: 182.
Now: HDL: 40 – LDL: 112 – Risk: 4.5 – Tryg: 137 – Total: 179.
Good Job. It looks like its working."
Chip, USA
"My cholesterol has been around 200-225. I have been taking Zocor and in March my neurologist also put me on Zetia. When I was tested in July my level went from around 225 to 210. A week before I was tested I started taking your formula. When I was tested on 9/9 my level was 165. I am sure that the Zetia helped, but I believe that your formula was the most compelling reason for the drop."
Bob, USA
"Just letting you know also, I recently had my cholesterol tested and it has gone down 50 points...amazing."
Janeen P, USA
"Just wanted to let you know how thrilled we are with Omega 3/DHA Esters supplement. My husband, a slender 47-year-old man, has been taking Total Balance for about a year. We added the Cholesterol Formula when he had routine blood work done and found cholesterol in near normal range but very high triglycerides.
On the next blood work his triglycerides had dropped about 12 points but were still too high. Of course, our family doctor wanted to put him on RX but was understanding and cooperative when we told him we'd rather try an alternative method. He recommended fish oil.
It was about that time that you introduced omega 3/DHA Esters. After three months, with no other dietary changes (we try to eat right, make our own bread . . .), his triglycerides dropped over 75 points! We are thrilled! His total cholesterol is at 188 and triglycerides at 208. THANKS SO MUCH!"
Lica H, USA
"I would like to let you know that before I started taking your product I had problems with small red pimples around my nose and mouth area as well as Rosacea. In the short time I have used Cholest-Natural my skin has cleared and the Rosacea is getting less bright pink in colour. I am very happy about that."
Andrea W, USA
"I know you are interested in feedback so I thought I would drop you a note on my recent yearly check up. Two years ago my total cholesterol was over 220. I took Cholest-Natural for 3 months straight, starting in January of 2003. My check up was in April and in that short time it had dropped to 156. The only thing was the HDL also dropped and was on the low side but the ratio was in the recommended range. I haven't taken the formula since and when I went back this year my cholesterol had not increased but remained roughly the same. My doctor tried to prescribe Lipitor but I declined. I am pleased with the product and recommend to anyone with a high cholesterol problem. I think it is hilarious to see advertisements for Cheerios where a man goes around saying "I lowered my cholesterol". My experience is food alone will not lower it. You must take the cholesterol formula to lower the numbers then with proper diet you can maintain the lower numbers.
Cheers,"
Mike L, USA
"My LDL cholesterol has significantly reduced since taking your product. I do have a question though. Although my LDL has improved, my triglycerides are very high. I realize that this is mostly diet related, but wondered if you had a product that would help me address the high triglycerides. Thanks for your help! I love your product!"
Stacey A, USA
"I am pleased to report that my cholesterol is showing signs of improvement. Down from 7 to 6.6. HDL up from 1.09 to 1.8 and LDL down from 4.78 to 3.8. Just thought I'd let you know! It is a small improvement, but it’s going the right way at last!"
Sue I, UK
"Cholest-Natural seems pretty remarkable, Total Balance is as well. Feel tons better after only a month on both and cholesterol levels are down substantially. Interested to see what longer term use will do."
Brad W, USA
"I just got back from my quarterly appointment with my doctor. From October to this last test, two weeks ago, my results had gone from high to normal (below the normal mark). Thank you Jesus and thank you for your product.
Thanks for all your help and I hope you have a blessed year."
Carla W, USA
"I just received my blood test results after using your Natural Cholesterol formula. On the 24/06/2003 my total cholesterol was 6.1 mmol/L, with my LDL at 5.3 and my HDL at 0.1. This was due to previous drug use. Now, after taking 2 tabs a day before dinner for only 6 weeks my results are back. Although my total cholesterol is still a bit high, my ratios are much better. My total cholesterol on the 13/08/2003 was 5.3mmol/L, HDL was 0.8mmol/L, and LDL down to 3.7.
And this is only after 6-7 weeks of usage. I am very happy with your product and will continue to use it to help me live a healthy life...."
Scott P, Australia
"I just had my cholesterol checked and it went from 290 to 220...I believe it is partially related to my mountain bike racing, but also related to the cholesterol formula....thanks, now I can avoid taking the statins!"
Gregory T, USA
"I just got my blood test results (I am diabetic). After taking 4800mg of Carlson's fish oil every night for a month, plus Xtend-Life Cholest-Natural with Policosanols: My Triglycerides dropped a whopping 551 points and are now NORMAL!!
My total Cholesterol dropped a whopping 98 points and is now NORMAL!!! This is without taking ANY prescription statin or cholesterol drugs. I am free of poisonous statin drugs forever!"
Melody H, USA
"I have been using your products for a few months now. Recently I have had some health challenges with palpitations of the heart and blood pressure spiking.
I am 48 and otherwise in good health apart from some psoriasis and stiff joints at times.
Recently I visited my naturopath who uses a Mora machine; you will be pleased to know the Total Balance & Cholest-Natural are regarded supportive for me.
I have tried other supplements in the past and few are rated supportive for me personally."
