What Is Cholesterol? Understanding Dietary Fat and Your Body

High cholesterol is one of the most common health red flags among Hong Kong people. Every year during routine check-ups, six out of ten get reminded by their doctor: "Your cholesterol is high — watch your diet." But the problem is — Hong Kong-style food is really hard to avoid. Cha chaan teng, congee and noodles, dim sum, hotpot… everything is high in oil and fat. So where does cholesterol come from, and what happens to the fat in your food?

In recent years, more and more Hong Kong people have started paying attention to how much fat they take in each day. Among them, Dr. Serum Silk Protein Jelly — with the concept of "one stick before meals to absorb excess fat" — has become a daily habit for many people who eat out often. Today's article will break down: the causes of high cholesterol, what to look for when choosing a supplement, and and the difference between physical blocking and chemical inhibition — their blood lipid levels.

High cholesterol among Hong Kong people isn't simply about "eating too greasy." The following factors combined are the real reasons:

① Hong Kong food has extremely high fat content

A single plate of dry-fried beef ho fun can contain over 30 grams of fat. The pork bone broth in wonton noodles, a pineapple bun with butter, even the evaporated milk in a silk-stocking milk tea — all of these are "hidden fats." Hong Kong people eat out at a high rate, often all three meals a day are eaten out. It's simply unavoidable.

② Lack of exercise + sitting in the office all day

Hong Kong people work long hours and are under high stress. After work, all they want to do is lie on the sofa. Not enough exercise, less body expenditure, and LDL ("bad" cholesterol) in the blood naturally accumulates more and more.

③ Ageing and slowing metabolism

After 40, the liver's ability to metabolise cholesterol starts to decline. Even if food intake hasn't changed, cholesterol levels will slowly climb.

④ Genetic factors

Some people are born with a liver that processes cholesterol less efficiently. Even with a healthy diet, their levels may still be high.

There are many supplements on the market claiming to lower cholesterol, but Hong Kong people should pay attention to the following when choosing:

✅ Point 1: Natural ingredients, no side effects
For something you take long-term, ingredient safety comes first. Avoid products containing harsh laxative ingredients or artificial chemicals.

✅ Point 2: A clear mechanism of action
Don't just accept "lowers cholesterol" — understand how it actually does it. Does it reduce absorption? Promote metabolism? Or inhibit synthesis? A clear mechanism is worth trusting.

✅ Point 3: Watch for interactions with medication
If you are already on prescription medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding any supplement.

✅ Point 4: Easy to sustain, fits into daily life
If the routine is too complicated or the taste is too hard to bear, you simply can't stick with it. Choose something convenient, tasty, and easy to form a habit with — that's what delivers long-term results.

The core ingredient in Dr. Serum Silk Protein Jelly — silk protein fibre — works like a natural sponge 🧽.

The principle is simple:

1️⃣ Take one stick before meals — silk protein fibre reaches the gut and expands
2️⃣ Absorbs excess fat — traps the oils and sugars in food
3️⃣ Reduces intestinal absorption — prevents the body from absorbing everything
4️⃣ Naturally expelled — exits the body together with the fibre

The entire process is gentle and natural — no diarrhoea, no gut irritation — and does not conflict with medications for cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood sugar.

For people with high cholesterol, reducing fat absorption at every meal is the same as helping the body "take in less" at the source. This product is a food and is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease.

Dr. Serum Jelly isn't designed only for weight loss. The following types of Hong Kong people are especially suitable:

🗣️ "I eat out every day and don't want to restrict my diet. After taking the jelly, at least I feel like something is helping block the oil for me — it gives me peace of mind."

🗣️ "The routine is simple — one stick before meals, that's it. No need to remember how many pills or what time to take them. Really easy to keep up."

(The above are personal experiences shared by customers. Results may vary.)

• Basic routine: Three meals a day, one stick before each meal

• Enhanced period: One stick per meal + an extra stick when eating out or having oilier food

• Recommended duration: At least 30 days as one observation cycle

• Starter recommendation: 30-Day Starter Pack (90 sticks), 3 per day, covering all three meals

High cholesterol doesn't happen overnight, and managing it also takes time and patience.
Rather than worrying endlessly without knowing what to do, why not start with one simple habit —
one stick of Dr. Serum Silk Protein Jelly before every meal,
helping your body intercept excess fat and gradually bring your levels back to balance 🌿

No need to cut out your favourite foods. No need to take drugs. No need to change your lifestyle.
Just one small daily habit.
