The statistics are sobering: more than 500,000 men and women die annually as a result of heart disease and related complications. More than one million heart attacks occur annually, two-thirds among men. Six of ten men who suffer heart attacks do not survive them. All too often, women fare no better and may even receive lower quality care than men.
    One of the main causes implicated in heart disease is damage caused from high cholesterol.
    Fortunately, like all of us, doctors suffer from high cholesterol and often have to take the same cholesterol lowering medications they give their patients. Many doctors are also now keenly aware of the increased cancer risk and problems with liver health from long-term use of these same cholesterol medications. For this reason, doctors have long known of the need for safe and effective natural routes of health that do not have the same toxicity problems as their medical drugs.
    Many years ago, a cadre of nutritionally oriented European doctors began to conduct research into safer natural nutrients that could have a positive benefit on the body’s cholesterol levels but without the complications of medical drugs.
    Based on this reported research, Whitewing Labs has developed a new nutritional formula—new and improved Cholest-Less^™—for winning the battle against cholesterol damage. This formula isn’t a miracle but the product of years of research on individual natural nutritional ingredients for their healthy effect on the body’s cholesterol levels.
    Perhaps one of the most important keys to maintaining healthy blood flow is reducing the amount of damaged (or oxidized) cholesterol in your body. Cholesterol is not dangerous unless oxidized. Oxidation occurs when unstable, highly reactive molecules in the body, called free radicals, attack cholesterol. Dr. Alex Sevanian of the University of Southern California says that when cholesterol is attacked by free radicals, it becomes altered to a form that penetrates arteries more easily.

Cholesterol-Busting Phytonutrients
In their quest for a safer solution, European experts have identified select phytonutrients that function as antioxidants to reduce damaged cholesterol that can clog arteries.
    One of the phytonutrients most widely used in Europe for maintaining healthy heart function is prepared from hawthorne berry and is especially important for people who already have coronary blockage or suffered a first heart attack. When combined with a high potency garlic extract, these two powerhouse herbs achieve a concert effect and are highly effective at protecting heart muscle from lesions caused by heart attacks, according to research at the Institute of Pathology, University of Münster, Germany. Both substances also help to protect cholesterol from oxidative damage.
    Soy extract, one of the key ingredients in the Cholest-Less formula from Whitewing Labs, is one of the most impressive and important natural circulatory support nutrients today.
    The cholesterol-lowering benefits of soy protein are extensively documented. Thus, it protects against heart attacks, strokes, and hardening of the arteries. In addition, soybeans are a rich source of antioxidants.
    Niacin is a more commonly used cholesterol buster than even many of the frequently prescribed medical drugs.

    In this formula, guar gum, oat bran, psyllium and choline provide powerful cholesterol-lowering emulsifying benefits. Meanwhile, its antioxidant vitamins including zinc ascorbate and d-alpha tocopherol prevent dangerous oxidative damage to your cholesterol.
    Whitewing Labs created Cholest-Less to help the body stay healthy naturally. Cholest-Less combines the heart-protective nutrients discussed in this report including garlic, hawthorne berry, pantothenic acid, calcium, magnesium, copper, and l-carnitine.
    Cholest-Less is a master blend that is the perfect complement to Pressure Control^™. Because high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol are so often interrelated, I recommend that both products be used together (see page 5 for a report on Pressure Control).
