Res-Q LDL-x2 With Niacin is a comprehensive formulation of multiple ingredients that provide more complete benefits for cardiovascular health. Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin is formulated to work with Res-Q 1250 and Res-Q CellPower. Res-Q LDL-x2 is also available without niacin and is referred to as Res-Q LDL-x2 Niacin free.
Res-Q LDL-x2 promotes reduced absorption of dietary cholesterol, circulation, cholesterol health and arterial health. Res-Q LDL-x2 contains safe and natural ingredients such as policosanol and plant sterols that address dietary cholesterol in the digestive tract. Res-Q LDL-x2 is a nice addition to any cholesterol health supplement-regimen.
Phytosterol Esters
Phytosterol esters are called plant sterols, fat-like compounds that work in the small intestine to inhibit the absorption of dietary cholesterol during digestion. The average American dietary intake of plant sterols is only found in small quantities in foods. The plant sterols are esterified meaning combined with fat for better absorption. The ester form of plant sterols are more effective. The Phytosterol esters (plant sterol esters) found in Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin are derived from vegetables. By increasing plant sterol intake to 1,300milligrams, excess cholesterol is eliminated instead of being absorbed. The FDA states that “Foods containing at least .65 grams per serving of plant sterol esters, consumed twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 grams, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A one caplet serving of Res-Q LDL-x2 contains .65 grams of plant sterols, taken twice a day with meals, equals a daily total intake of 1.3 grams of plant sterol esters. The FDA further acknowledges that, “the scientific evidence established that including plant sterol esters in the diet helps to lower blood total and LDL cholesterol levels.”
Policosanol
Policosanol derived from sugar cane is the source of policosanol supported by clinical evidence as effective. Policosanol safely works through the liver to support cholesterol well-being. Research also shows that policosanol’s unique antioxidant like properties may also support cholesterol in its “healthy state” thereby helping to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. Policosanol also promotes circulation and blood flow to the heart.
No-Flush Niacin
Niacin has been shown in clinical studies to boost HDL cholesterol levels. No-Flush Niacin is a safe, tolerable form of niacin that helps support healthy circulation and blood flow to the heart by encouraging the normal function of relaxation of the blood vessels allowing for expansion, room in the blood vessel for blood flow. No-Flush Niacin also encourages cholesterol to be a larger and more buoyant type, while small more dense lipoproteins, including Lpa tend to be more harmful to the arteries. No-Flush Niacin gradually reaches maximum levels approximately 10 hours after ingestion and therefore does not result in abrupt dilation of blood vessels common to less tolerable types of niacin.

I’m at high risk for Atherosclerosis. My Total Cholesterol is 201mg/dl, my LDL is 99mg/dl & my HDL is 91mg/dl with a ratio of 2.2. Do you recommend the Res-Q LDL-x2 (without niacin) or the Res-Q LDL-x2 with Niacin? My Triglycerides are 56mg/dl.
Hi Ginny. I recommend the Res-Q LDL-x2 with the niacin and Res-Q 1250. But always make sure to check with your doc first!
