HeartSavior Natural Cholesterol Support Supplement with Red Yeast Rice, CoQ10, Plant Sterols & Niacin Blend - 7-Ingredient Healthy Formula for Men & Women - Made in USA, Non-GMO, (120 Capsules)

I take this to stave off my regular doctor's insistence that I take a statin. I take this twice a day, 30 minutes before I eat, and it has lowered my cholesterol from 250-something to 189. I also eat a vegetarian diet now, so that probably helps. I do have family hypercholesterolemia, according to the doctor.

I am a 67-year-old female. In my younger years, my cholesterol hovered around 125, no matter my weight or my good-versus-bad eating habits. Over the years, the bad eating habits and weight fluctuations caught up with me, and my numbers crept up about 10-ish points every decade. Although my total cholesterol of 182 in November 2019 was still not technically "high," the numbers were high enough to be concerning for me, because if the pattern continued, I would soon be in statins territory. I was also concerned because it seemed like the rise over the years was steady, even in the years where I had lost weight and was on a serious healthy eating and exercise plan. I also believed that the rise in triglycerides and LDL could be at least partially attributed to Metoprolol, which I started taking in 2017 for SVT, and which is known to raise cholesterol levels. I've asked my docs to change my prescription to an alternative which does not have that side effect, but both cardio and primary refuse to do that, at least for now. After my breast cancer diagnosis on 1/2/20, as I learned more about my cancer and my upcoming treatments, I learned that the aromatase inhibitor (Letrozole) that I would begin taking (5-yr regimen) once all the treatments were over comes with a litany of concerning side effects, one of which is sky-high jumps in cholesterol readings. Oh joy. So now I had a big motivator to get back to a healthy lifestyle, exercise, lose weight, and get my cholesterol numbers down as low as possible before starting the Letrozole, to give me a head start on trying to keep everything in the healthy range. I also had a new diagnosis of severe GERD and chronic gastritis in February 2020, so I needed to make changes to deal with that as well. Around that time, a friend had mentioned that her cholesterol had jumped into an alarming range in the 300s, and she had achieved amazing results to lower it by over 100 points with the help of a supplement and some moderate efforts to eat healthy. I jumped on Amazon to order the supplement she was taking, and I thought I would check out some of the other similar ones that popped up that were a bit less expensive, and after landing on Heart Savior, I decided to give it a try. I started taking Heart Savior in the middle of February - two tablets on most days, four tablets on some days, and no tablets on other days. I take a lot of other supplements for various health reasons, and I was having trouble swallowing because of the GERD, so some days I just didn't want to swallow all those pills more than once, or at all. It took me almost 5 months to go through two full bottles. I also wasn't very good about remembering to take the Heart Savior pills at the optimal time of 30 minutes before a meal, as recommended, so usually, I ended up taking them with the meal instead. I didn't take any pills at all from early July to mid-August because the radiation treatments made it very difficult to swallow and killed my appetite, but I am back on them now. I had another cholesterol test done in early August, and I was super-happy to see that my total cholesterol went down. I was surprised, however, to see that my triglycerides and LDL went up, while my HDL went down, even though the total number was down. What the heck? I strongly suspect the Metropolol could have something to do with that, but my docs are still being stubborn about it and refuse to change my prescription to something else. Their attitude seems to be that if my numbers are all in a good range, why change anything. I did get them to agree to change if my numbers go back up after I start the Letrozole, because if that is the case, I am going to be a woman on a mission, and I want the Letrozole to be the ONLY med I'm taking that can affect cholesterol levels if I am going to have trouble managing it. The numbers for the last 3 readings, including the post-Heart Savior readings in August 2020, are as follows: Total: (2017) 167; (11/2019) 182; (August 2020) 143 Triglycerides (2017) 51; (11/2019) 66; (August 2020) 88 HDL (2017) 84; (11/2019) 59; (August 2020) 59 LDL (2017) 85; (11/2019) 66; (August 2020) 66 So that is the end of Phase 1 - just getting the numbers down. What I refer to as Phase 2 is beginning the 5-year regimen with Letrozole, which I'll start on September 1. I plan to continue to take the Heart Savior along with hopefully having the discipline to maintain healthy food choices and exercise. We'll see how this works! I will return here with periodic updates on how my numbers are doing. Considering how many hundreds (perhaps even thousands if I took an actual counts) of people in my various cancer support groups on Facebook report sky-high cholesterol jumps on the aromatase inhibitors (many of whom never had issues prior to starting the AI), if I am able to keep my numbers in check with the help of an affordable bottle of supplements, I will be a very happy camper and spread the word. Crossing my fingers for good results as I start Phase 2!

When my monthly subscription order arrived this month I was worried that I was sent an incorrect product but after comparing the packaging and label to my last months bottle I realized that it was the same product with an updated label. This product has been a game changer for me lowering my cholesterol by more than 15 points. I’ve been using Heart Savior for more than 1 year now and it has continued to keep my cholesterol in check. I highly recommend it.

I have been taking Heart Smart for over a year and it is working great to lower my cholesterol. That being said I was very disappointed with my last shipment as there were 2 broken capsules in the last bottle leaving the contents of those capsules threw out the bottle. What a gritty mess. You can see the powder at the bottom of the bottle. This did not effect the use of the rest of the bottle. However the bottle was short at least 2 capsules. Increasing the cost per capsule. Taking 4 capsules daily this increases the cost per capsule. Better quality control is needed in packaging.

My wife has used this product for several years. Her blood tests improved by using it. It really works

I don’t have my blood work until May so I cannot speak on the effectiveness of these supplements yet. However, I will say these pills smell HORRID. If you burp after taking them, in that 30 minute wait before getting to eat (annoying and not realistic most days) then you will taste what it smells like…. Vitamin and hair perm! NASTY! I have to take a gummy vitamin after I take them just so I have something there to filter/buffer out the vitamin perm taste before eating. I don’t know if I will be able to keep these in my routine. It’s definitely not a smell/taste I could ever get used to.

Today I decided I'll add a photo of the 3 test reports so anyone can see that I'm not just trying to promote a product. I had recommended this to another friend who also dropped his cholesterol by 50 points. As always I believe everything works differently for everyone but this is something worth a try for anyone with high cholesterol!!! 3 month update After 3 months of taking Heart Savior I have excellent news. My total Cholesterol is down 55 points from 250 to 195!! My LDL down 54 points from 183 to 129!! In the same time frame my HDL or good cholesterol has seen a rise of 9 points from 47 to 56. I will obviously continue taking this and update when I next do my full blood work. Original review at 1 month I've been dodging having to take any statins my primary doctor wanted me to take with a dozen excuses the last few years but when my total cholesterol reading came at 250 in December I knew time was running out and so were excuses. After looking at multiple options I picked this out as a last resort and took it for 30 days. Considering I got this to me just before Christmas I never changed my diet but admittedly I have incorporated oat meal for breakfast plus have been adding flax and chia as well. During the 30 days I had plenty of eggs, bacon and ham a few days too. Last weekend I went for my follow up blood work and the results truly surprised me. My total cholesterol read 204! A drop of 46 points! While LDL and triglycerides dropped my HDL had gone up by 5 points to 53 I plan to continue taking this another 2 months before another follow up exam and plan to update progress here. So far very happy with how it's working out for me considering as with all food herbs drinks and medicine each of us will react differently.

Works great to lower cholesterol numbers
