Leptinal® & Healthy Fat Cells

Leptinal® supports cholesterol fitness in a variety of novel ways.

Fat cells within stored fat use small fragments of cholesterol to stabilize the structure of their cell membranes. When a person gains weight these fat cells expand in size, stressing the actual structure of the fat cell. The stressed fat cells send out a call to the liver for more cholesterol to help stabilize their cell membranes. Thus, fat cells that are too large contribute to cholesterol unfitness. Losing weight helps this problem. The DHA in Leptinal® has been show to help shrink fat cells, in turn helping to promote cholesterol fitness.*

It is now well known that DHA helps lower triglyceride levels, especially when combined with weight management. This helps leptin enter your brain in a more normal manner, in turn promoting normal brain signals to the liver for optimal cholesterol synthesis. By contrast, if leptin is not getting into your brain properly then your body switches to a perceived famine mode -- which naturally elevates cholesterol while turning down metabolic rate. This combination is an evolutionary strategy to survive a real famine, but is not very helpful for daily living or general weight loss efforts. Leptinal® helps prevent this cholesterol-related issue by supporting optimal triglyceride metabolism.*
