HelloPharmacist Scorecard of CholestaCare by ProCaps Laboratories
Four independent checks of what is known — a summary of the available information, not a grade of the product itself.
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
None of the active ingredients could be matched to our evidence database, so intended use can't be graded.
Why this rating?
- None of the active ingredients could be matched to a HelloPharmacist monograph, so intended use can't be graded against our evidence data.
Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.
Why this rating?
- The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
- No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.
None of the active ingredients could be matched to our interaction database.
Why this rating?
- We couldn't match any ingredient to a HelloPharmacist monograph, so there was nothing to check interactions against.
None of the active ingredients could be matched to our safety data.
Why this rating?
- We couldn't match any ingredient to a HelloPharmacist monograph, so there was no safety data to measure.

FDA Statement of Identity
DIETARY SUPPLEMENT
Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions
SUGGESTED USE Consume one or two capsules with each meal or snack depending on the amount of food consumed – with small meals or snacks consume a single capsule and with larger meals two capsules. To achieve the benefits of this product, you must consume at least two capsules daily; however, there is never a need to consume more than eight capsules per day. The largest reduction in Total and LDL Cholesterol is achieved as the dosage increases from two to eight capsules daily with the optimum standard dosage being three to six capsules daily. CholestaCare is always most effective when taken with food and is best taken 30 minutes before or no more than 60 minutes after completing a meal or snack. This product is most effective when used in conjunction with a healthy, balanced diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and the nutritional foundation provided by a high potency, comprehensive multi-vitamin-mineral supplement from Andrew Lessman’s Life Rx(TM) family of formulas.

General Statements
Andrew Lessman’s CHOLESTACARE is an effective, natural formula providing our unique phytosterol blend, designed to support heart health by helping to reduce Total Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol levels. Medical experts recognize that our Total Cholesterol and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol levels are important indicators of our cardiovascular health or risk. The Food and Drug Administration now recognizes that Phytosterols, like those contained in CholestaCare, provide a natural means of lowering Total and LDL Cholesterol and thereby supporting heart health. Although naturally present in fruits, vegetables and grains, most Americans do not consume adequate amounts of these foods to achieve the recommended levels of the plant sterols necessary to positively affect their Cholesterol levels. Moreover, the foods that most Americans consume tend to deliver high levels of saturated fats and cholesterol, which can increase Total Cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk factors. Scientific evidence establishes that including adequate amounts of plant sterols in the diet helps to lower Total Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol levels, which is important for heart health since high Total Cholesterol and high LDL Cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, consuming at least 400 mg per serving of plant sterols twice daily with meals for a daily total intake of at least 800 mg, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A capsule of CholestaCare supplies 400 milligrams of plant sterols. Of course, an intelligent approach to heart health and cholesterol reduction involves more than simply consuming CholestaCare daily and should also include a sensible dietary, exercise and weight control program under the guidance of a health care professional.
