Embodiment Construction

[0009] The present invention includes avocado leaves of the Persea americana var. drymifolia variety ("drymifolia"). This breed can be obtained in northern Argentina. The specific substances in these leaves that cause cholesterol lowering are still unclear. However, it is a well-established principle in the herbal medicine industry that active ingredients in fresh plants / herbs usually decompose or decrease in effectiveness when the plants / herbs die or rot. Therefore, to preserve the cholesterol-lowering ability of drymifolia during shipment from Argentina to the United States, it is preferable to air dry fresh drymifolia leaves at an average room temperature of approximately 60°F-80°F. This temperature range is maintained until the leaves are prepared for use. Surprisingly, this pretreatment step preserved the cholesterol-lowering efficacy of drymifolia leaves.

[0010] Once dehydrated, the leaves are preferably manually broken. The cholesterol-lowering activity of hand-br...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition comprising Persea american var. drymifolia for lowering cholesterol levels.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to compositions and methods for lowering cholesterol. In particular, the present invention relates to compositions and methods comprising avocado leaves of the drymifolia variety (hereinafter "drymifolia") of avocado (Persea americana var.) for lowering cholesterol levels in humans. Background technique [0002] Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found in the bloodstream and in the fat of cells in the body. Although cholesterol is necessary for body function, excessive levels of cholesterol in the blood can be harmful because it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. High cholesterol usually means that a person has a total blood cholesterol level above 240 mg / dl or a person's low density lipoprotein level above 160 mg / dl (see, Cleeman, James I., Executive Summary of the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP ) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Choles...
