 Warning-PHOSPHATES, 2008-02-23
So I get the Cholestoff in and guess what? The first added ingredient is a PHOSPHATE. I'm already being treated for osteoporosis, having to take a shot a day for the next two years. At age 52, and after years of phosphate ingestion which has destroyed my bones, I by a "natural" product filled with poison.
Bad form, Nature Made.

 good for you, 2008-01-29
This is a good product, and much easier to get it through Amazon. I usually have to visit several department stores before finding one with this product. Amazon's price is comparable, even with shipping, and no gas expense.

So far I can tell it works because the way I feel when I eat. I feel good after I eat and that tells me it is working. Thank you.

Good product!, 2007-09-11
I've got Excel records of my cholesterol going back 17 years now. I started taking Cholest Off when I hit a maximum of 236 in April 06....usually it was around 200. The main reason for the high number I'm guessing is that I had put on a good 15 extra pounds. My LDL was 168, HDL 42 and Triglycerides 128. In addition to the Cholest Off, I took off the extra pounds. In May this year: Cholesterol 187, LDL 126, HDL 50 and Triglycerides 46. I've been on an extremely low cholesterol diet and aerobics for all of the 17 years after having hit just under 300 cholesterol.
In all 17 years, my Cholesterol, LDL and Triglycerides have never been lower than in May this year. Another user said his triglycerides went up after taking Cholest-Off so I guess if you use this product, the best thing is to keep track of what happens. It may do you good.....or it may not. I'm going to keep taking it. Oh yes, I only intake cholesterol food at my evening meal. I take two Cholest-Off tablets 15-30 minutes before. That's the only time I take the tablets.

 Unreported consequences, 2007-07-09
Well, I was excited as ever to try this product as an alternative to a traditional statin. I originally bought the 60 pill bottle, then the 240 pill bottle. I took a physical before and my scores were as follows:
12/06: total choles. = 252; triglycerides= 154; HDL= 42; LDL=179; and VLDL= 36. I took Cholestoff for approx. 3 months as prescribed within 15-30 mins. before meals. Then I repeated a physical ad my results were are follows: total choles.= 251; TRIGLYCERIDES = 260!!; HDL= 36; LDL= 162 (great and as advertised!); and my VLDL's = 52!!!
So my synopsis is as follows. The product did appear to do what it said in terms of lowering my LDL levels, but at a sub level it grossly affected my triglyceride level as well as my VLDL (very low density lipoprotein). For the past 4 annual physicals before taking this product, my triglycerides have always been in the 120-181 range, with my most recent measurememt being 154 as stated above. Additionally, my VLDL levels for that same period have always been within the range of 24-36 (within normal limits), and this last testing threw me out and above of normal limits.
So, choose what you will about trying the product... I am only writing because I consider myself an educated consumer, and tried to read as much as I possibly could find on this product before trying it. I wanted to extend my story so that people have a balanced view of the product as recorded by test results.
I am now off of Cholestoff and will not take it again. However, I have not given up on trying other products, and will see for the next 3 month period the effects of taking "Oilsmart" fish oils (3, 6 & 9), along with and ayurvedic supplement from Solaray called guggul. I will let you know how that turns out.
Good luck!
