o something good for your heart and body—
take Phytomega. This patent-pending dietary
supplement combines plant-based phytosterols
with omega-3 fatty acids and other proprietary ingredients
to reduce total cholesterol levels and maintain healthy
triglyceride levels.
Phytosterols: Mimicking the Cholesterol Molecule
The main ingredients in Phytomega—phytosterols—
are plant-derived molecules that resemble cholesterol. As
the cover illustration shows, phytosterols and cholesterol
are so chemically similar that your body can’t tell the
difference. The illustration below shows dietary cholesterol
(from the foods you eat) and biliary cholesterol (produced
by your liver) passing through your digestive tract.
Because Phytomega’s phytosterols mimic cholesterol, they
interfere with the absorption of cholesterol—so your body
absorbs less cholesterol in the bloodstream. As Phytomega
replaces cholesterol, the cholesterol passes out of your
body as waste.
Because of their ability to interfere with both dietary
cholesterol and the cholesterol produced by your body,
the phytosterols in Phytomegalower total cholesterol
levels—especially LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels.
By lowering these levels, Phytomega helps reduce your risk
of heart disease. Clinical studies conducted over the last
few decades have shown that daily intake of phytosterols
can significantly lower cholesterol measurements.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: The Fat That’s Good for You
1
Omega-3 fatty acids are a form of polyunsaturated fat—
a “good” fat. Omega-3s are found primarily in cold-water
fish and they are essential for good health. However, your
body cannot make omega-3s on its own. They must be
obtained in your diet.
In the 1970s, scientists
made one of the first
connections between omega-3
fatty acids and human health
while studying the Inuit
(Eskimo) people of Greenland.
As a group, Inuits suffer far
less coronary heart disease than
Europeans. Yet the Inuit diet,
which consists of eating whale,
seal, and salmon, is very high
in fat. Eventually, researchers
realized all these foods are rich
in omega-3 fatty acids—which
were giving the Inuits natural
cardiovascular protection.
Phytomegacontains fish oil
with two key omega-3 fatty
acids—standardized
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA). Together, these long-chain omega-3s help
maintain healthy triglyceride levels in your body.
Triglycerides are a group of fatty compounds that circulate
in the blood and are stored in your body’s fat tissue.
Research shows that people with elevated triglyceride levels
are more at risk of developing heart disease.
A Patent-Pending Formula That
Complements PROVEXCV
Phytomegais truly in a class by itself. No other product
has phytosterols in an omega-3 fatty acid matrix to
enhance the delivery of the phytosterols in your body. In
fact, Phytomega’s unique blend of phytosterols, omega-3
fatty acids, and other premium ingredients is so
revolutionary—we’ve applied for a patent to protect it!
Plus, Phytomegaworks with PROVEXCV. While
Phytomegaconcentrates on total cholesterol and
triglyceride levels, PROVEXCVhandles LDL cholesterol
oxidation and healthy platelet activity.

scientific evidence supporting the claim, the evidence is not conclusive.
