You can get your HDL, Total Ch, and triglycerides from Cardio Chek. With those numbers you can calculate your LDL number.

No. Efforts are being made to develop a meter that works without requiring a physical blood sample but, to my knowledge, we're not there yet. When it happens you can bet they won't be selling them for $13.00.

I'm not sure. All I know is that they sent me a 6 or 5 panel kit, which wasn't what I ordered. The extra panels are supposed to screen for additional substances, not multiple methods for detecting a single substance.

No, it does not tell you the amount of chemicals you will have to add since that depends on the quantity of water in the hot tub or pool you are testing as well as who makes the chemicals you use. Once you know the reading however, you should be able to consult the labels on the chemical containers which should show you the amount needed to raise or lower your readings a certain amount for the volume of your water.

All fish oil has tiny amounts of cholesterol, but it is negligible. But science shows that people who take fish oil generally have a significant reduction of triglcyerides. I can't speak for how other companies set their prices. But, we have a direct relationship with the company that sources and distills the fish oil, so we're able to cut out the middleman. Also we feel strongly that everyone should take the highest quality product available so they get results, so we try to keep our prices down

You can get the supplement facts off of their website. I believe there are a number of people who distribute this product. I'm not sure why they didn't put that info on the listing

Look up the nutrition facts for this product on swansonsvitamins.com yourself. This product contains zero sodium and also zero fat (and no cholesterol). The information that begins with "*Percent Daily Values" is just general information regarding how percentages are calculated and have no relevance for this product because there is no fat, carbohydrates, sodium, protein etc in these drops.

You would need to go through a lab to get the exact amount. With this kit you follow a color chart and compare to the EPA standard

In a study done in 2010 (V. Mollace et al. / Fitoterapia 82 (2011) 309-316) they used doses of 500 mg and 1000 mg per day and saw decreases in total-Cholesterol of 23% and 29% respectively, decreases in LDL-Cholesterol of 23% and 34% respectively and corresponding increases of 21% and 35% in HDL-Cholesterol.

Yes. It tests as Na (sodium). I really don't recommend the test kit though. Mine was missing some of the test strips.

I still haven't figured anything out about the pectin but have been having good luck with using about 3 tablespoons of non-fat dry milk powder. I wouldn't think this should contribute to bad cholesterol as it is made only from skim milk.

I am not a Dr. but it is best to check with one, as it does have a reaction with my fathers cholesterol Pill so his Dr. told him not to use.

You should be able to look at the back of the carton and see the list of vitamins. There are a whole bunch.I am totally off of my blood pressure meds and am doing very well. (age 74)

This machine gives you your total cholesterol count, it does not break the numbers down, only a lab that does a full blood work up can give you those numbers. I can tell you that after having the blood work done by my doctor,this unit is very accurate and definitely worth having.

Yes it does. It will test for total cholesterol and both HDL and LDL but you have to buy the strips separately for each one of these. I've been using it for Triglycerides only and I really like the convenience of doing the testing at the privacy of my home.
