What Is Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance required for body health. Since it’s not water-soluble, it binds to special proteins called lipoproteins to travel in the bloodstream. There are two main types:
- High-density lipoproteins (HDL) or “good” cholesterol: carries cholesterol away from heart and blood vessels
- Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) or “bad” cholesterol: tends to build up on artery walls
Why Check Your Cholesterol
When cells receive more cholesterol than needed, excess can form deposits in coronary arteries, restricting blood flow to the heart. This condition, arteriosclerosis, is the leading cause of coronary heart disease. Regular monitoring helps reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, even in people without current heart disease.

All good. Thought I was brave but can’t believe what a wuss I was using the lancet lol! I think it was the spring action that I found scary! One tip. Don’t think you can test the lancet on something else first as they only last once. Oh and it’s not that scary once you use it!

I have used the Total Cholesterol Blood Test Kit to measure total cholesterol twice now, and both times it was easy to use, and very accurate. The accuracy was always within 5-10% of a follow up laboratory test with my doctor. I have had so much success with the Total Cholesterol Blood Test Kit that I will use this going forward on a regular basis. The test itself is very simple and easy to use as well. The test kit gives me a good indication if I am on the right track with my diet to keep my cholesterol in check. Highly recommend.
