What is HDL, otherwise known as High-density lipoproteins and the "good cholesterol?" Provides the framework for muscles, bones, blood, hair, and fingernails. It is the main supply of amino acids - the building blocks that construct, repair, and maintain body tissues. Measures how quickly glucose enters the bloodstream after a carbohydrate is eaten and thus how quickly the carbohydrate increases a person's blood sugar. Absorbs water in the digestive tract and is easily fermented by bacteria in the large intestine. Carries the cholesterol through the blood, dropping it off where it is needed for cell building and leaving any excess in arterial walls and other tissues. Picks up cholesterol deposits and brings them to the liver for reprocessing or excretion.
