Cholesterol is a waxy fat like chemical, an essential component of certain hormone, digestive acids and body structures produced naturally by the liver. Excess cholesterol may lead to coronary heart disease causing blocking of the arteries. HDL is good cholesterol because it removes cholesterol from circulating blood. To maintain a healthy lifestyle including monitoring cholesterol levels, it is essential to know both the total and HDL cholesterol levels.

This home screening product enables the user to estimate both total and HDL cholesterol.

A small blood sample is required for each test in order to produce a chemical reaction. This results in the production of a visible colour developing, allowing direct reading of the test result using scale detailed on to the test platform.

 

MANAGE YOUR CHOLESTEROL LEVEL

 

The UK has one of the highest rates of death from heart disease in the world. One person dies every e minutes and strokes claim 70,000 lives every year.

 

Cholesterol is a type of fat (lipid) made by the body. It is essential for good health and is found in every cell in the body. However, a high cholesterol level in the blood (hyper cholesterolaemia) has been linked to various problems.

 

Elevated cholesterol levels are associated with increased risk of heart disease and strokes. Knowing and controlling your cholesterol level is an important step in avoiding cardiovascular disease.

 

Lack of exercise, smoking and being overweight add to the risk of heart disease.
