GO Healthy Cholesterol Support is a three-ingredient cardiovascular formula combining Phytosterol Esters, Lecithin, and Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in a single daily SoftGel capsule.
Designed to support normal cholesterol levels in the bloodstream and overall heart health, this formula is particularly relevant for those taking statin medication - as statins are known to deplete the body's natural CoQ10 levels, and this formula provides 100mg of CoQ10 per capsule to support replenishment.
- Supports normal cholesterol levels - Phytosterol Esters at 1,000mg per capsule are one of the most well-researched natural ingredients for supporting healthy cholesterol levels in the bloodstream, with an established body of clinical evidence behind their use
- Heart health support - the combination of plant sterols, lecithin, and CoQ10 provides multi-angle cardiovascular support as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle
- CoQ10 replenishment for statin users - statin medications are known to deplete the body's natural CoQ10 levels; this formula provides 100mg of CoQ10 per capsule to support replenishment of normal levels in those taking statins
- Lecithin for cardiovascular support - 400mg of Lecithin from non-GMO soy per capsule, a phospholipid compound associated with healthy fat metabolism and cardiovascular function
- Phytosterol Esters at 1,000mg per capsule - plant sterols are structurally similar to cholesterol and compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the gut, supporting lower cholesterol uptake
- Easy-to-swallow SoftGel capsules - a format that many find more comfortable than standard tablets or hard capsules, particularly for those taking multiple daily supplements

Co-Enzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone) - 100mg

GO Healthy Cholesterol Support - formerly known as GO Cholest Shield - brings together three complementary ingredients in a single SoftGel capsule formula, each contributing to cardiovascular health through different but reinforcing mechanisms.
Phytosterol Esters are the lead ingredient at 1,000mg per capsule. Plant sterols are naturally occurring compounds found in plants that are structurally similar to cholesterol. When consumed, they compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption in the gut - reducing the amount of cholesterol the body takes up from food and supporting lower total and LDL cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. Plant sterols are one of the most robustly evidenced natural ingredients in the cholesterol management category, with a substantial body of research confirming their cholesterol-lowering effect when consumed at clinically relevant doses. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and other regulatory bodies have approved health claims for plant sterols in relation to cholesterol reduction.
Lecithin, sourced from non-GMO soy at 400mg per capsule, is a phospholipid compound that plays a role in fat emulsification and metabolism. It is widely included in cardiovascular health formulas for its associations with supporting healthy fat metabolism and vascular function.
Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) at 100mg per capsule addresses a specific and well-documented need for those taking statin medications. Statins work by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase - the same enzyme pathway involved in the body's own CoQ10 production - which means statin use can reduce the body's natural CoQ10 synthesis. CoQ10 is an essential compound in cellular energy production, concentrated heavily in the heart and other organs with high energy demands. Replenishing CoQ10 alongside statin therapy is a commonly recommended approach in integrative and nutritional medicine. The 100mg dose in this formula is within the range commonly used in research and clinical supplementation contexts.
What are Phytosterol Esters and how do they support cholesterol levels? Phytosterol Esters are plant-derived compounds that are structurally similar to cholesterol. When consumed, they compete with dietary cholesterol for absorption sites in the digestive tract - reducing the amount of cholesterol absorbed from food and supporting lower total and LDL cholesterol levels in the blood. They are one of the most extensively researched natural cholesterol-support ingredients available, with regulatory approval for cholesterol-related health claims in multiple markets.
Why is CoQ10 included in a cholesterol support formula? Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential compound involved in cellular energy production, found in high concentrations in the heart and organs with high energy demands. Statin medications - which are commonly prescribed to manage cholesterol levels - work by inhibiting an enzyme pathway that is also involved in the body's natural CoQ10 synthesis. This means statin use can deplete CoQ10 levels over time. Including 100mg of CoQ10 in this formula supports replenishment of normal CoQ10 levels for those taking statins alongside a cholesterol management routine.
What is the Lecithin in this formula and where does it come from? Lecithin is a phospholipid compound found naturally in soy, eggs, and other foods. In this formula, it is sourced from non-GMO soy at 400mg per capsule. Lecithin is included for its associations with healthy fat metabolism and cardiovascular function. Those with a soy allergy or sensitivity should note that this product contains soy.
Is this product suitable for people currently on cholesterol medication? If you are taking prescription medication for cholesterol management - particularly statins or blood-thinning medication - consult your healthcare professional before adding this supplement to your routine. Do not take alongside blood-thinning medication without medical advice. This formula is designed to complement a heart-healthy lifestyle and diet, not to replace prescribed medication.
Can I take 1 capsule or do I need to take 2? The recommended dose is 1 to 2 SoftGel Capsules daily. At 1 capsule per day, the 60-capsule pack provides a 2-month supply and the 100-capsule pack provides just over 3 months. At 2 capsules per day, the 60-capsule pack provides a 1-month supply and the 100-capsule pack approximately 7 weeks. Your healthcare professional can advise on the most appropriate dose for your individual circumstances.
Is this product suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding? No. This product is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation. Consult your healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What is the difference between GO Cholesterol Support and GO Cholest Shield? They are the same product - GO Cholesterol Support is the updated name for what was previously sold as GO Cholest Shield. The formula is unchanged.
