High-density lipoprotein (HDL), also known as "good cholesterol", can help prevent narrowing or clogged arteries by removing bad cholesterol. However, Cleveland Clinic researchers have found that some enzymes in the blood can make HDL dysfunctional and increase the risk of plaque buildup and heart problems. Learn how Cleveland Clinic is hoping to develop a blood test to measure the level of dysfunctional HDL to better estimate a person's risk for heart disease.

  • I am now off my Advicor prescription by using Sterolyn. My total cholesterol has dropped from 213 to 183 and my HDL increased 7 points since I went on this product. I'm happy to get results w/o the side effects of the statin prescription drugs out there.
