A Victory for CholestinTM and 57 Million Americans Cholestin, Good News for Better Health. Here’s some very good news for the estimated 57 million Americans who want a safe and 100% natural way to promote and maintain healthy cholesterol levels* – Cholestin is not a drug. A recent federal court ruling said that Cholestin meets all criteria as a dietary supplement. This distinction means that you can continue to enjoy direct access to this remarkably effective product, giving you an extremely strong weapon in the fight for better health. Research Confirms Cholestin Works. Cholestin’s benefits have been supported by over 30 clinical studies, all of which produced impressive results. Most recently, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Cholestin’s patented form of red yeast rice, was conducted by the UCLA School of Medicine and published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The studies measured the effects on cholesterol levels before and after supplementation with Cholestin. It was proven that Cholestin was effective compared to the placebo group.
