Good Cholesterol

Definition of Good Cholesterol

Good cholesterol, also known as high-density lipoprotein (HDL), is a molecule found in the body that plays a fundamental role in cardiovascular health.

Unlike bad cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL), good cholesterol helps remove excess cholesterol from the arteries and transports it back to the liver for elimination.

An adequate level of good cholesterol in the body is considered beneficial for preventing heart disease and maintaining good health.
