Cholesterol is an important building stone of life, but too much cholesterol, especially low-density-colesterol (LDL) damages the blood vessels and causes narrowing of the vessels which in their turn obstruct the blood flow.  One consequence is an inadequate supply of nourishment to the body tissues and organs, a risk factor that endangers the general feeling of well being and quickens the ageing process.

The vegetarian Omega-3 obtained from the Perilla plant (Perilla frutescens) can absorb LDL-colesterol and help to normalize an elevated colesterol level. 

Compared to other plants, Perilla containt the highest amount of biological active polyunsaturated fatty acids.  Its oil is obtained form the seeds of the Asian Perilla plant.  Perilla is also known as “Shiso” its japanese name. 

Perilla also is rich in alpha-linolic-acid (ALA), an important substance which cannot be produced by the human organism itself.  ALA has positive effect on heart and blood vessels and is a valuable contribution to a colesterol awary diet.

Omega-3 obtained from vegetary sources has an important advantage over animal Omega-3 products, such as fish oils.  Vegetarian Omega-3 fatty acids oxidate slower in the human organism.  This is especially important for diabetics, as this group is exposed to a higher amount of oxidative stress.  Therefore is vegetarian Omega-3 the better choice for diabetics.

Vegetarian Omega-3 also reduces the formation of fat cells.  This means the growth of fat tissue is reduced and the fat metabolism  will be stimulated.

Perilla oil is therefore a good and secure alternative to Omega-3 fish oils, especially for vegetarians and diabetics and all who want to improve on a  colesterol concious diet plan. 

Recommendations for significantly lowering the risk of excessive cholesterol:
A lower intake of animal fats and oils; in its place a diet that is rich in ballast, a lot of vegetables, physical exercise and intake of salmon oil - the natural way to lower lipin levels.
