PRODUCT

Cardiosmile is the only product on the market that allows 2 grams of phytosterols to be added to a food of preference. An innovative formula whose process is unique and patented.

Cardiosmile does not contain sodium, gluten, lactose, fat, calories, nor does it need refrigeration.

Also, Cardiosmile contains the optimum daily portion of phytosterols needed to contribute to reduce cholesterol. Other products with phytosterols have a lower amount of phytosterols, so it is necessary to consume a greater number of daily units to reach the desired results.

It is important to note that not all phytosterols are the same. Among them we highlight the esterified phytosterols and also the free phytosterols that you can find in Cardiosmile. This means that Cardiosmile’s formula has no fat content, but on the contrary, our phytosterols are dispersed in water thanks to a patented process that reduces their particle size. This gives Cardiosmile a unique quality that facilitates the consumption of phytosterols, mixing the contents of a sachet with a liquid or food of preference.

On the other hand, Cardiosmile’s formula not only contributes to reduce LDL cholesterol by 12%, but also triglycerides by 14% and increases HDL cholesterol by 3%*.

Once you stop consuming Cardiosmile, cholesterol levels return to the parameters prior to consumption. Specifically, studies show that cholesterol levels return to baseline in about a month. So if you measure your cholesterol after you stop using Cardiosmile, you probably will not see changes, since you will be measuring your cholesterol and triglyceride levels without the effect produced by Cardiosmile phytosterols. This is because the disorders related to cholesterol are usually chronic and, therefore, permanent care is required.
