Cholaplex® by Standard Process: Heart, Thyroid & Liver Support Guide

The following information is a summary and review based on Dr. Candy's professional experience and recommendations. Any summary or statement has not been provided nor influenced by the manufacturer.


If you’ve ever tried to improve your health, you’ve probably noticed how overwhelming the supplement world can be. So many products promise miracles, but few offer balanced, whole-body support. That’s what makes Cholaplex® by Standard Process stand out.

This formula combines real food concentrates, organ extracts, and essential nutrients that work together to support the heart, liver, thyroid, and digestive system. It’s not a “quick fix” supplement—it’s long-term nutritional support designed to help your body function at its best.

Key Benefits of Cholaplex®

I often recommend Cholaplex® to clients who want natural help balancing cholesterol, supporting cardiovascular health, or improving nutrient absorption. It’s one of my favorites because it supports several systems at once.

Here’s how it helps:

  • Heart health: Choline and inositol help your body maintain normal cholesterol levels and support healthy blood flow.

  • Thyroid function: Iodine in Cholaplex® helps regulate metabolism and supports energy production by fueling thyroid hormone activity.

  • Digestive wellness: Bovine liver, porcine stomach, and bile salts aid in proper digestion and nutrient absorption.

  • Liver detox support: Ingredients like Collinsonia root and buckwheat nourish and protect the liver, one of the body’s main detox organs.

  • Antioxidant protection: Carrot root and sweet potato provide natural antioxidants that help reduce oxidative stress.

When I look for supplements that align with holistic principles, I want products that feed the body at the cellular level. Cholaplex® fits that philosophy perfectly.

How I Use Cholaplex® in Practice

In my holistic practice, I use Cholaplex® as part of a comprehensive plan to support cardiovascular and metabolic balance.

Common situations where I recommend it include:

  • Clients with a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol who want proactive nutritional support.

  • Individuals with sluggish thyroid function or low energy.

  • Pets or people recovering from digestive or liver challenges, where gentle organ support is needed.

Because everyone’s body chemistry is unique, I personalize recommendations based on symptoms, diet, and overall lifestyle. Cholaplex® often pairs beautifully with Livaplex®, Cyruta®, or Cataplex® B for deeper cardiovascular or liver support.

Cholaplex® is generally well-tolerated and safe when used as directed. Occasionally, people may notice mild stomach upset when starting a new supplement. Taking it with food usually helps.

Because it contains soy and wheat, individuals with sensitivities should consult their healthcare provider before use. Anyone on thyroid medication or cholesterol-lowering drugs should also check for potential interactions.
