Production of Hormones

Steroid hormones are created by using cholesterol. Sex hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are produced this way, as well as mineralcorticoids, which help with mineral balance and blood pressure regulation. Glucocorticoids, which assist with blood sugar regulation, are also a hormone created with cholesterol.

Vitamin D Synthesis

Vitamin D is created when the sunlight hits the skin and converts cholesterol into the needed vitamin. There needs to be a sufficient amount of cholesterol in the body to allow this process to occur.

Cell Membrane Health

Cholesterol plays an important part in the cell membrane. This membrane is semi-permeable, allowing essential nutrients into the cell and eliminating waste from the cell. The membranes require cholesterol to function properly.

Where it is Produced

The liver produces about 75 percent of the body's cholesterol. The other 25 percent typically comes from diet.

Cholesterol is present in every cell of the human body and also found in the bloodstream. This soft waxy substance is produced in the body and is essential for the health of the cell membranes and also for the synthesis of vitamin D, hormones and digestive acids, or bile salts.

There is a point that the liver produces cholesterol as it plays a role in the body function. So just ingesting pure tocotrienols as it's added in Kyänis Omega 3 oil will lead to a health concern to your body.

Tocotrienols are only found in pure form in the Annatto fruit.
