Uses of Atosta 5

Benefits of Atosta 5
- In High cholesterol
- Atosta lowers the 'bad' LDL cholesterol in your blood, slowing the build-up of fatty deposits in your arteries. The benefit builds over months and years rather than being something you feel.
- In Prevention of heart attack and stroke
- Atosta stabilises the fatty plaques already lining your arteries so they are less likely to rupture and block a vessel. That is what lowers the chance of a heart attack or stroke.
