Lipascor® for individuals with high blood lipid levels

Lipascor® is recommended for individuals who have tried and failed to achieve healthy blood lipid (cholesterol) levels through diet and exercise, as well as patients who are not willing or unable to tolerate conventional statin treatment.

Lipascor® mode of action

Naturally occurring Monacolin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) found in Lipascor® capsules reduce the amount of lipids produced by the liver resulting in the effective regulation of circulating blood lipid (cholesterol and triglyceride) levels.
