Apolipoprotein A-I

Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is a protein that plays a crucial role in your body's ability to manage cholesterol. It is the main component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), often called "good cholesterol." ApoA-I helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream and tissues, transporting it back to the liver for disposal or recycling. This process helps protect against the buildup of fatty deposits in arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease. In essence, ApoA-I supports cardiovascular health by promoting efficient cholesterol clearance.
