What is cholesterol? Everyone has cholesterol. It’s a fatty substance in your blood that’s produced naturally in your liver. The cells in your body use cholesterol to keep them healthy. Cholesterol is carried around your body by proteins in your blood. Proteins help keep your body’s tissues and organs working as they should. When cholesterol and proteins combine, they’re called lipoproteins. Please visit the links below for more information.
