Cholesterol is of great importance inside the human body. It is required for the maintenance of cell membrane, for many hormones and Vitamins. That requirement of cholesterol to the human body is fulfilled by two sources:

• By Food 
• Liver produces itself 

But the important thing is that one should rigorously keep on checking the level of cholesterol in his/her blood. As high level of cholesterol can lead to many complications i.e. High Blood Pressure, Heart Diseases like Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, Atherosclerosis etc. The normal range of Cholesterol in blood is under 200 mg/dl for healthy adults.

Crestor belongs to one of the important cholesterol-lowering medications i.e. statins. Crestor lowers the level of LDL(low density lipoprotein) and triglycerides from the blood and increases the level of HDL(high density lipoprotein), hence it maintains the balance of cholesterol inside the blood and protects the human body from many diseases.
