Windsor Botanicals is a proudly American manufacturer that prides itself in its high-quality, forward-thinking products. It is certainly noteworthy that this company provides products that are cGMP certified, made in the USA and third-party tested. We were excited to see what formula they created for their cholesterol supplement. They include Niacin, Red Yeast, Berberine, Aronia Berry, Bergamot and Guggul Lipid extract. We were fascinated by this combination of ingredients and decided to delve into the amounts of each to find out how effective this supplement will be.
Is Windsor Botanicals Cholesterol Support Effective?
One could argue that there are scientific studies to back up each of the ingredients included in this formula. However, there is more than meets the eye. We do appreciate the generous amount of Berberine - 500 mg per daily serving, which is certainly a significant amount and comes highly recommended for helping to balance out cholesterol levels. Another inclusion that won us over is the addition of Aronia Berry which helps boost antioxidant effects to combat free radicals. However, we have to question the addition of certain other ingredients. One such ingredient is Red Yeast. This formula includes 1000 mg of Red Yeast per daily serving, which is significantly high. This ingredient has been clinically tested as being effective at reducing high cholesterol levels, however it comes with a warning. It can cause severe side effects such as painful gas, headaches and/or dizziness. Similarly, the ingredient Niacin has been used for years to lower triglyceride levels, but also has a tendency to cause uncomfortable side effects that may even be dangerous. If you’re looking for a long-term solution, we would not recommend taking a product with such high levels of these ingredients.
Another strike against this company was the vast amount of mixed reviews we found online. With only half the reviews being positive, we felt this was not convincing enough that it is a foolproof, effective formula. The conclusion we came to is that you have a 50% chance of it working for you, and unfortunately, with no money-back satisfaction guarantee (third strike), you have no way of getting your money back if it doesn’t work for you.

Summary
At first glance this product looks like it has it all: made in the USA, third-party tested, cGMP compliant, vegan and it has clinically researched ingredients. All these points are what drew us to this product and convinced us it should be in our top three. However, on closer inspection, we did find a number of issues. Firstly, two of the clinically researched ingredients that this formula includes, namely Niacin and Red Yeast, come with warning signs. These ingredients are disreputable for causing unwanted side effects that include abdominal pain and headaches. Secondly, the reviews are very mixed. We could not come to the conclusion that this product is effective when half the reviews are positive, but the other half are not. And the final disappointment is that there is no money-back guarantee which means if it doesn’t work for you, then you would be throwing your money in the bin.
