Medical Disclaimer
Last updated: 2026-08-01
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. ColestZen is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, including high cholesterol, hypertension or heart disease.
This is not medical advice
Everything on this site is published for general information. We are researchers and writers, not physicians, dietitians or pharmacists. Nothing here constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and nothing here should replace a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your history.
ColestZen is not a treatment and not a statin
High cholesterol and cardiovascular disease are medical conditions that can need prescription medication such as statins. A dietary supplement is not a substitute. Do not stop or change any prescribed medication because of something you read here. If you have chest pain, shortness of breath or other cardiac symptoms, seek medical care promptly rather than relying on any supplement.
Speak to a doctor first if any of these apply
- You are pregnant or nursing
- You are under 18
- You take prescription medication of any kind — the licorice root can raise blood pressure and interact with several drugs
- You have high blood pressure, low potassium, or a diagnosed heart condition
- You have diabetes — several botanicals here affect blood sugar
- You have surgery scheduled
Dietary supplements are regulated differently
In the United States, dietary supplements are not subject to the pre-market approval process that applies to pharmaceutical drugs. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements for safety or effectiveness before they are sold. Any badge or claim suggesting a supplement is "FDA approved" is inaccurate — what a manufacturer can legitimately state is that a product is made in an FDA-registered facility, which is a statement about the premises, not the product.
Individual results vary
Response to any supplement depends on diet, genetics, existing health status, medication and consistency of use. Results described on this site are not guaranteed and may not be typical. Cholesterol should be monitored with a blood test ordered by your doctor.
Never delay medical care
If you have a health concern, seek professional advice. Do not disregard or delay medical care because of something you read here. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
