Cholesterol in HDL
HDL is known as the “good” cholesterol because it helps clear excess cholesterol from your bloodstream and arteries, returning it to the liver for processing. Higher HDL is linked to better cardiovascular health, reduced inflammation, and improved metabolic flexibility. It's also involved in hormone transport and antioxidant activity. Raising HDL isn’t just about the number—it’s about improving the quality of your lipid metabolism and overall resilience.
