ANY GOOD RESULTS WITH HSN'S LESSMAN'S CHOLESTACARE?

HELLO!  Anyone have any good results with Andrew Lessman's Cholestacare product that he sells over on HSN?  My cholesterol is creeping up and just wanted to try something that's not a statin.  Thanks!

I use his ChocoNuvo instead of his Cholesta-Care. I was eating one piece per day. I did see results. I added his fiber which also helped. I started eating 2 pieces of his ChocoNuvo with even better results. 

Just wanted to add Yum it really tastes good.

Just saw my doctor in May to have labs. She said whatever I'm doing to keep doing it because it's working.

He has a TS for the ChocoNuvo in Oct every year. The large 360 count bag is $150 or .42¢ each with 650 mg per piece. He doesn't sell it while it's hot because it will melt.

He missed the TS on the Fiber so waiting for the TS to come back so I can buy it before I run out. I take 2 per day sometimes 3. 

He has not had the CholestaCare as a TS since Feb 2023. Has not been a MS since July 2022. He has a 1000 count bottle for $169.90 or .17¢ each.  400 mg per capsule. Take 1-2 capsules with each meal. No benefit from taking more than 6 per day.

Hope this info helps you figure out what to try for your Cholesterol.

 

TS= Todays Special

MS= Monthly Special

I used to enjoy the ChocoNuvo but I need to cut back on spending, so I switched to CholestaCare when it was a TS.  I did get good results and lowered my overall cholesteral by about 30 pts.

I think I tried once, years ago--did nothing for me as my cholesterol issues are a family thing--so no natural stuff does me any good.

@Nightowlz   Thanks for the reply.   I did the ChocoNuvo and really enjoyed the taste.  Not great results for me -- only lowered it 4 points in a year.  Hoped for better results.  I ordered the Cholestacare today.  Hoping to get it in time to show my primary.  I just refuse to talk about statins.  Everyone I know who was on them came off due to aches and pains.

I used plant sterols for 20 years, sometimes CholestaCare, sometimes other brands, it kept me in normal to borderline range, then all of a sudden at 71 my numbers took a high jump, and I knew it was time to cave. I refused a statin, but am taking Zetia a non statin and my chol went down 55 points.

I use several of his supplements including CC.

 

I would suggest using it with his fiber which I think he has a version with Fiber and CC together. I could be wrong and thinking about probiotics, but CC and fiber is a double helpful whammy if you're borderline.

 

Of course, you have to have the diet (low saturated fats and low/no sugar) with exercise along with it or you'll be wasting your money.

 

My doctors love to try and put me on statins too and I refuse as well. My numbers are not that bad and a recent CT scan of my chest showed zero plaque.

 

You keep doing you!

Just saw on Andrew's site that CholestaCare will be the TS next month July. Did you buy from him or HSN?

His Fibermucil will also be a July TS. Yay!

@BarbiHollywood 

 

I'm waiting for my blood test results, any day now.

 

At my last appointment my doc said my cholesterol was up 4 points, and it had gone up 2 points the blood test before that.  Six points.   

 

Well, I started the Cholestacare and eating oatmeal almost every single day, so I expect the results to be good.

 

We shall see .... lol.

@Nightowlz   Thanks for that info.  I bought the smallest size bottle on Tuesday.  I'll see if it agrees with me and will consider buying more.  Hubby drinks a small glass nghtly of Metamucil for the fiber.  I might try dong that, too, in addition to the CholestaCare.  I'd like my number to be lower than 200, but I guess I just produce it because I don't eat dairy, watch my fats, eat a good amount of fish, verrrrry limited fried foods, etc.  All cardiac tests are excellent.  Ehh, just turned 60!!  What fun!!!  :-)))

 

Thanks for the reply!  Have a wonderrful day!
