How it works:
Zilance has a statin in it, which is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.
It works by stopping HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that makes cholesterol in the liver.
This lowers LDL (bad cholesterol), raises HDL (good cholesterol), and lowers triglycerides.
Helps keep plaque from building up in arteries, which lowers the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
